OverrideRequestParameters+
OverrideRequestParameters (schema)
| Name | Description | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| override | Locally override the global object If true, the global resource can be over written locally. This means that there will be a local only resource in place of the global resource that can reflect local specific settings and values. The global object will continue to exist but will not be used for any configuration until this local object is removed. When the object is overridden the Global resource continues to exist unmodified, while the overridden object is created with all of the user specified values. The Global resource may be updated in the background, however, the overridden object may only be updated by the user. Once the user removes the overridden copy, the Global resource will then resume being used in the configuration. |
boolean | Default: "False" |

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. |

| 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+. |

integer | Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1000000 |
| 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" |

| 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. |

| 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. |
