I’m just trying to understand which sub-project is responsible for updating the API documents – the Docs sub-project or the sub-project that owns the APIs?

I would hope the answer would be the later, as the sub-project that owns the service are the subject matter experts on the APIs.

I’ve been assuming that the Docs team owns the infrastructure and the other teams own the documentation for their software. But the line is fuzzy and AFAIK we’ve never clarified it as a community. Now would be a good time.

I was looking for a better method to provide feedback on Abraham’s objective to align REST API documentation with the REST APIs.

We could start with email, however, I feel the details and feedback from the cores could be better represented in another tool.

John, isn’t that backwards? Shouldn’t the dev team take the feedback from Abraham and the Docs team and implement the changes needed to fix the document?

Abraham,

Please find enclosed my feedback preceded by [JK]

Given the level of detail and input required, could you please open a Gerrit review in order to get feedback and comments?

Thanks,

John

Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] API requests: stx-config

stx-config team,

Based in some time spent now within stx-config and with the objective to align our REST API Documentation with our REST APIs, we are kindly requesting your comments for questions "?" under each section [ Section ] [Sub Section]

Please assume:

- The require X-Auth-Token is in place to authenticate, only URLs might be shown.

- StarlingX is configured as Standard Controller: 2 Controllers, 2 Computes.

[ Project Information ]

The mismatch between documentation [0] and information via API Query is addressed under [3] and [4].

? Heads Up! The description includes the word "interfaces" however as you will find

below, "interfaces is also listed in the documentation but not intuitively found as

a REST method under the API query output. More information below.

[ v1/ ]

Here we are showing 3 different views of what we are seeing within stx-config

project:

- Our initial "Migration WADL to RST", see history here [1]

- What we have documented in our "Current Official API Documentation" pages [0]

- What the "API Query Output" is actually showing with

curl -i http://10.10.10.2:6385/v1/...

[ v1/ ] [ Migration WADL to RST ]

Migration analysis from WADL to RST format gave us the REST METHODs below to include, we are adding in the second column what it seems to be the match for the valid API REST methods:

System > isystems

Clusters > clusters

Interfaces > ? [JK] v1/iinterfaces

Partitions > ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/partitions || /v1/partitions/{partition_id}

Volume Groups > ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/ilvgs || /v1/ilvgs/{volumegroup_id}

Physical Volumes > ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/ipvs || /v1/ipvs/{physicalvolume_id}

Ceph Storage Functions > ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/istors || /v1/istors/{stor_id}

Profiles > iprofile

DNS > idns

NTP > intp

External OAM > iextoam

Infrastructure Subnet > iinfra

DRBD Configuration > drbdconfig

SNMP Communities > icommunity

SNMP Trap Destinations > itrapdest

Devices > ! /v1/devices/{device_id} || /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/pci_devices [JK] This should be v1/pci_devices/{pci_device_id} || /v1/ihosts/{ihost_id}/pci_devices

Service Parameter > service_parameter

SDN Controllers > sdn_controller

Remote Logging > remotelogging

Networks > networks

Address Pools > addrpools

Addresses > addresses

Routes > ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/routes

Storage Backends > storage_backend

Storage Tiers > ! storage_tiers

Controller Filesystem > controller_fs

Ceph Monitors > ceph_mon

System Certificate Configuration > ! certificate

Custom Firewall Rules > firewallrules

? Are all the names and API REST methods correctly matched?

[JK] Added /v1/iinterfaces above for Interfaces.

No, devices should be pci_devices

[JK] missing ethernet_ports

? Are all the valid API REST method names correct?

[JK] See my comment above

? "Interfaces" is listed under v1/ API Version output [2]

as an expected service but a REST METHOD match was not found, are we talking

about "Interface" one of the following ones:

[JK] This is referring to v1/iinterfaces

1) Is it the "interface_networks" REST method?

Interface_networks is a separate REST method and allows association of a networks to an iinterfaces

2) Or found under "Profiles" as described under its description:

"...This includes interface profiles..."

3) Or found under "SDN Controllers" as described under its description:

"...SDN manager interface..."

4) Or as simple as "Networks" interfaces?

[ v1/ ] [ Current Official API Documentation ]

The following API REST methods documented under [0] give valid API output:

- System

- Clusters

- DNS

- NTP

- External OAM

- Infrastructure Subnet

- DRBD Configuration

- SNMP Communities

- SNMP Trap Destinations

- Service Parameter

- SDN Controllers

- Remote Logging

- Networks

- Address Pools

- Storage Backends

- Storage Tiers

- Controller Filesystem

- Ceph Monitors

- System Certificate Configuration

- Custom Firewall Rules

- Partitions

- Volume Groups

- Physical Volumes

- Ceph Storage Functions

- Devices

- Addresses

- Routes

The following API REST method documented under [0] has an invalid name:

- Profiles Documentation pointing to: /v1/iprofiles

and a valid v1/ endpoint: http://10.10.10.2:6385/v1/iprofile

? Is this a valid Documentation change from "iprofiles" to "iprofile"?

[JKUNG] Yes, this should be updated to 'iprofile' from 'iprofiles'

[ v1/ ] [ API Query Output ]

Based in our "[Starlingx-discuss] API requests: stx-ha" [3] we learned the following API REST methods from "System Inventory API v1" are assigned to stx-ha:

- services

- servicenodes

- service_groups [JK] this is servicegroup, not service_groups

And in our "[Starlingx-discuss] API requests: stx-metal" [4] the following are assigned to stx-metal. [JK] This is part of a pending user story 2002950.

- lldp_neighbours

- ihosts

- icpu

- lldp_agents

And now these API REST methods are assigned to stx-config:

- isystems

- clusters

- <Interfaces>

- ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/partitions || /v1/partitions/{partition_id}

- ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/ilvgs || /v1/ilvgs/{volumegroup_id}

- ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/ipvs || /v1/ipvs/{physicalvolume_id}

- ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/istors || /v1/istors/{stor_id}

- iprofile

- idns

- intp

- iextoam

- iinfra

- drbdconfig

- icommunity

- itrapdest

- ! /v1/devices/{device_id} || /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/pci_devices

- service_parameter

- sdn_controller

- remotelogging

- networks

- addrpools

- addresses

- ! /v1/ihosts/{host_id}/routes

- storage_backend

- ! storage_tiers

- controller_fs

- ceph_mon

- ! certificate

- firewallrules

Leaving the following assigned to other StarlingX components, more to come once we review the remaining StarlingX projects:

- links

[JKUNG] These are still currently in stx-config, except, I believe license, upgrade does not apply to StarlingX. Needs confirmation from storage which ones will continue to be supported (i.e. storage_ceph_external).

- storage_file

- storage_lvm

- interface_networks

- id

- ptp

- media_types

- upgrade

- imemory

- storage_ceph_external

- health

- license

- storage_ceph
