How to Discover Red Hat Virtualization by REST API

This task includes the following steps:

1. Prerequisites - Set up protocol credentials

   The Red Hat Virtualization by REST API discovery solution is based on HTTP Protocol.

   Note Make sure that the value of Username in HTTP Protocol is <Username>@<Profile> in Red Hat Virtualization.

   For credential information, see Supported Protocols.

2. Configure the URI endpoint

   1. Add the IP address of Red Hat Virtualization server to Data Flow Probe IP Range.

      For Range information, see "New/Edit Range Dialog Box" in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Online Help document.

   2. Edit UriEndpointConfiguration.xml.

      1. Go to Data Flow Management > Adapter Management > Resources pane.
      2. Click the Find resource button, enter UriEndpointConfiguration.xml in the Name field, and then click the Find Next button.

      3. In UriEndpointConfiguration.xml, set the url to the Red Hat Virtualization URL, and set the type to rhevm as follows:

         <uri-endpoint>
             <url><Red Hat Virtualization URL></url>
             <type>rhevm</type>
         </uri-endpoint>

         For example,

         <uri-endpoint>
             <url>https://localhost.localdomain/</url>
             <type>rhevm</type>
         </uri-endpoint>

3. Run the discovery

   Run the following jobs in the following order:

   1. Range IPs by ICMP
   2. Manual UriEndpoint Discovery
   3. Red Hat Virtualization by REST API

   For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Online Help.
