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
attached_logical_port_id	id of attached logical port	string	Readonly
crypto_protocols	metadata proxy supported cryptographic protocols. The cryptographic protocols listed here are supported by the metadata proxy. The TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 are supported by default.	array of MetadataProxyCryptoProtocol
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
edge_cluster_id	edge cluster uuid	string	Required
edge_cluster_member_indexes	edge cluster member indexes If none is provided, the NSX will auto-select two edge-nodes from the given edge cluster. If user provides only one edge node, there will be no HA support.	array of integer	Minimum items: 0 Maximum items: 2
enable_standby_relocation	Flag to enable standby Metadata proxy server relocation Flag to enable the auto-relocation of standby Metadata Proxy in case of edge node failure. Only tier 1 and auto placed Metadata Proxy are considered for the relocation.	boolean	Default: "False"
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
metadata_server_ca_ids	uuids of CAs to verify metadata server certificate The CAs referenced here must be uploaded to the truststore using the API POST /api/v1/trust-management/certificates?action=import. User needs to ensure a correct CA for this metedata server is used. The REST API can not detect a wrong CA which was used to verify a different server. If the Metadata Proxy reports an ERROR or NO_BACKUP status, user can check the metadata proxy log at transport node for a possible CA issue.	array of string
metadata_server_url	metadata server url The URL in format scheme://host:port/path. Please note, the scheme supports only http and https as of now, port supports range 3000 - 9000, inclusive.	string	Required
resource_type	Must be set to the value MetadataProxy	string
secret	secret to access metadata server	string
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30

Example Request:

PUT https://<nsx-mgr>/api/v1/md-proxies/e62a2471-d2ed-4644-b50c-1c61df81c011 { "display_name" : "metadata-proxy-2", "metadata_server_url" : "http://12.34.56.79:3000", "edge_cluster_id" : "4a6a13e0-eb66-4c02-96c3-85c9a250a946", "enable_standby_relocation": true, "_revision" : 0 }
