Entropy details of a host.

Returns Host_Entropy_ExternalPool_Info of type(s) application/json 
{
    "status": "string",
    "capacity": 0,
    "currently_available": 0,
    "low_watermark": 0,
    "inactive_source_timeout": 0
}
Host_Entropy_ExternalPool_Status
status
Required

The ExternalPool.Status enum represents external entropy status on an ESX host.
ENABLED : External entropy is enabled for the ESX host.
DISABLED : External entropy is disabled for the ESX host.

integer As int64
capacity
Optional

Capacity of external entropy pool in bytes. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of ExternalPool.Info.status is ENABLED.

integer As int64
currently_available
Optional

Currently available amount of entropy in bytes in the external entropy pool. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of ExternalPool.Info.status is ENABLED.

integer As int64
low_watermark
Optional

A threshold value in bytes. An audit record will be logged when ExternalPool.Info.currently-available drops below this value. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of ExternalPool.Info.status is ENABLED.

integer As int64
inactive_source_timeout
Optional

A timeout period in seconds within which the client must call ExternalPool.get operation or ExternalPool.add operation. If no call is received before the timeout lapses an audit record will be created. This timeout is used to detect that connection with the client is lost.

This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of ExternalPool.Info.status is ENABLED.

array of Std_LocalizableMessage

Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.

object
data
Optional

Data to facilitate clients responding to the operation reporting a standard error to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully. Operations may provide data that clients can use when responding to errors. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the operation reporting the error, different operations that report the same error may provide different data in the error. The documentation for each each operation will describe what, if any, data it provides for each error it reports.

The ArgumentLocations, FileLocations, and TransientIndication structures are intended as possible values for this field. DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this field (although that is not its primary purpose). Some services may provide their own specific structures for use as the value of this field when reporting errors from their operations.

Some operations will not set this field when reporting errors.
