Deprecated - Please use the intelligence API /napp/api/v1/intelligence/data-collection/host-config
instead, after installing NSX Intelligence.
Get the current NSX-Intelligence host configuration.
Recommend to keep the value same for flow_data_collection_interval
and context_data_collection_interval.

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

_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
broker_bootstrap_servers	List of NSX-Intelligence broker endpoints List of NSX-Intelligence broker endpoints that host nodes contact initially.	array of IntelligenceBrokerEndpointInfo
broker_certificate	Broker certificate A broker certificate to verify the identity of brokers.	string
broker_truststore	Broker truststore A truststore to establish the trust between NSX and NSX-Intelligence brokers.	string
context_data_collection_interval	VM guest context data collection interval Interval in minute of reporting VM guest context data to NSX-Intelligence. Recommend to keep this value the same as flow_data_collection_interval.	integer	Minimum: 2 Maximum: 30 Default: "5"
context_process_hashes	List of hashes of processes to collect context data List of hashes of processes to collect context data. Empty implies all processes.	array of string

enable_context_data_collection	Enable context data collection Enable NSX-Intelligence context data collection in host nodes.	boolean	Default: "True"
enable_data_collection	Enable data collection Enable NSX-Intelligence data collection in host nodes. This property has been deprecated. To enable flow data collection, use property enable_flow_data_collection instead. To enable context data collection, use property enable_context_data_collection instead. When this property is set to false, no data collection is performed even if enable_flow_data_collection or enable_context_data_collection is set to true. When this property is set to true, property enable_flow_data_collection and enable_context_data_collection control whether to collect flow data and context data separately.	boolean	Deprecated Default: "True"
enable_deep_packet_inspection	Enable deep packet inspection Enable NSX-Intelligence deep packet inspection in host nodes.	boolean	Default: "True"
enable_external_ip_aggregation	Enable external IP aggregation When this property is set to true, if the source or destination of network traffic uses an IP address that is not included in property private_ip_prefix, it is reported as ANY (255.255.255.255) to NSX-Intelligence. When this property is set to false, the original IP addresses of network traffic are reported to NSX-Intelligence, regardless whether they are included in property private_ip_prefix.	boolean	Default: "False"
enable_flow_data_collection	Enable flow data collection Enable NSX-Intelligence flow data collection in host nodes.	boolean	Default: "True"
flow_data_collection_interval	Network flow data collection interval Interval in minute of reporting network flow data to NSX-Intelligence. Recommend to keep this value the same as context_data_collection_interval.	integer	Minimum: 2 Maximum: 30 Default: "5"
