Creating a resource
To create an element, you need the associated element entry-point to execute a POST on it.
The API documentation describes all attributes that are needed for constructing elements in JSON or XML.
Example: For a host, the
POST 7.2.1/elements/host REST call returns a 201 HTTP response status code and the created element API's URI in the HTTP header:
{
"name": "myHost",
"address": "192.168.0.1"
}Tip: The
Content-Type HTTP request header determines the input format (XML or JSON).
