Create FBAD Config
Create and save flow based configuration to be used for application and tier discovery. All the fields in the request JSON are optional and default configuration will be used for undefined fields. The order of discovery options will be honoured during application discovery if discovery options are defined in the input request. Please use API api/ni/groups/discovered-applications/custom-config/fbad/file/upload to upload a CSV file to be used for application and tier discovery and naming. Use the filepath in it's response in the values tag of discovery options and naming preferences, each of type CSV, as applicable.
