string
name_key
Required

Service name key. Can be used to lookup resource bundle

string
description_key
Required

Service description key. Can be used to lookup resource bundle

startup_type
Required

The Service.StartupType enumerated type defines valid Startup Type for vCenter Server services.
MANUAL : Service Startup type is Manual, thus issuing an explicit start on the service will start it.
AUTOMATIC : Service Startup type is Automatic, thus during starting all services or issuing explicit start on the service will start it.
DISABLED : Service Startup type is Disabled, thus it will not start unless the startup type changes to manual or automatic.

state
Required

The Service.State enumerated type defines valid Run State for services.
STARTING : Service Run State is Starting, it is still not functional
STOPPING : Service Run State is Stopping, it is not functional
STARTED : Service Run State is Started, it is fully functional
STOPPED : Service Run State is Stopped

health
Optional

The Service.Health enumerated type defines the possible values for health of a service.
DEGRADED : Service is in degraded state, it is not functional.
HEALTHY : Service is in a healthy state and is fully functional.
HEALTHY_WITH_WARNINGS : Service is healthy with warnings.

health_messages
Optional

Localizable messages associated with the health of the service This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of Service.Info.state is STARTED.

com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.not_found : if the service associated with service does not exist.

Returns Std_Errors_Error of type(s) application/json

    ],
    "error_type": "string"
}
messages
Required

Stack of one or more localizable messages for human error consumers. The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the error from the perspective of the operation the client invoked.

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.

error_type
Optional

Enumeration of all standard errors. Used as discriminator in protocols that have no standard means for transporting the error type, e.g. REST.
ERROR : Discriminator for the Error type.
ALREADY_EXISTS : Discriminator for the AlreadyExists type.
ALREADY_IN_DESIRED_STATE : Discriminator for the AlreadyInDesiredState type.
CANCELED : Discriminator for the Canceled type.
