ChildTypesRequestParameter+

ChildTypesRequestParameter (schema)

Name	Description	Type
base_path	Base Path for retrieving hierarchical intent Base path of the resource for which user wants to retrieve the hierarchy. This should be the fully qualified path for the resource. - Sample examples - base_path=/infra/domains/default/groups/Group1 base_path=/infra/domains/default/security-policies/SecurityPolicy1/rules/Rule1	string
filter	Filter string as java regex Filter string, can contain multiple or single java regular expressions separated by ';'. By default populates immediate child resources of the resource indicated by the URL. These child resources will be filtered by the type provided in the filter. It is recommended to use type_filter parameter instead of filter parameter. - Sample query string to prevent loading services and deployment zones: filter=Type-^(?!.?(?:Service\|DeploymentZone)).$ - Sample query string to populate all the Group objects under Infra & Domain: filter=Type-Domain%7CGroup - Sample query string to load every policy object under Infra: filter=Type-.*	string
type_filter	Filter string to retrieve hierarchy. Advanced filter string in which user can directly specify the resourceTypes to be filtered. Can be used in conjunction with base_path. - Sample example of type_filter to load all groups - type_filter=Group - Sample example of multiple type_filter - type_filter=Group;SercurityPolicy;RedirectionPolicy - Sample example to load all groups in default domain using base_path in conjunction with type_filter - base_path=/infra/domains/default&type_filter=Group	string

Infra (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int
_schema	Schema for this resource	string	Readonly
_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
children	Subtree for this type within policy tree Subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements. Note that this type is applicable to be used in Hierarchical API only.	array of ChildPolicyConfigResource (Abstract type: pass one of the following concrete types) ChildBfdProfile ChildCaBundle ChildConstraint ChildConstraintGlobalConfig ChildDhcpRelayConfig ChildDhcpServerConfig ChildDnsSecurityProfile ChildDomain ChildEvpnTenantConfig ChildFloodProtectionProfile ChildFullSyncState ChildGatewayQosProfile ChildGlobalManager ChildGlobalManagerConfig ChildIPDiscoveryProfile ChildIpv6DadProfile ChildIpv6NdraProfile ChildMacDiscoveryProfile ChildPolicyContextProfile ChildPolicyDnsForwarderZone ChildPolicyDraft ChildPolicyFirewallScheduler ChildPolicyFirewallSessionTimerProfile ChildPolicyLabel ChildPolicyLatencyStatProfile ChildPolicyTransportZoneProfile ChildQoSProfile ChildSegment ChildSegmentSecurityProfile ChildService ChildSite ChildSpan ChildSpoofGuardProfile ChildTier0 ChildTier1 ChildTlsCertificate ChildTlsCrl ChildTlsCsr ChildTraceflowConfig ChildVMTagReplicationPolicy
connectivity_strategy	Connectivity strategy used by this tenant The connectivity strategy is deprecated. Use default layer3 rule, /infra/domains/default/security-policies/default-layer3-security-policy/rules/default-layer3-rule. This field indicates the default connectivity policy for the infra or tenant space WHITELIST - Adds a default drop rule. Administrator can then use "allow" rules (aka whitelist) to allow traffic between groups BLACKLIST - Adds a default allow rule. Admin can then use "drop" rules (aka blacklist) to block traffic between groups WHITELIST_ENABLE_LOGGING - Whitelisting with logging enabled BLACKLIST_ENABLE_LOGGING - Blacklisting with logging enabled NONE - No default rules are added.	string	Deprecated Enum: WHITELIST, BLACKLIST, WHITELIST_ENABLE_LOGGING, BLACKLIST_ENABLE_LOGGING, NONE
description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
domains	Domains for infra This field is used while creating or updating the infra space.	array of Domain
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
marked_for_delete	Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
origin_site_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for knowing which site owns an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing which site owns an object. This is used in NSX+.	string	Readonly
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
owner_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for the ownership of an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing who owns this object. This is used in NSX+.	string	Readonly
parent_path	Path of its parent Path of its parent	string	Readonly
path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
realization_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object. In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However, in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated their unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly
relative_path	Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent	string	Readonly
remote_path	Path of the object on the remote end. This path is populated only in case of multi-site scenario. Currently it is supported only for LM objects. When LM is onboarded to multi-site platform like NAPP or GM, remote_path will be set to the globally unique path across multi-site topology . It is generated based on local site-name and uses /org tree namespace. Note: It is populated only for LM objects. Not supported on the GM.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value Infra	string
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entities in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly
