Updating Datasource Instance Details
Last updated on 10 January, 2024You can use LogicMonitor REST API v3 to update datasource instance details. You must authenticate yourself before making the API request.
Note:
- As per the REST standards, any property which is not specified in the PUT request will revert to its default value.
- You can update datasources instances that do not have Active Discovery enabled.
URI: PATCH /device/devices/{deviceId}/devicedatasources/{hdsId}/instances/{id}
URI: PUT /device/devices/{deviceId}/devicedatasources/{hdsId}/instances/{id}
| Parameter | Type | Description |
deviceId | Integer | (Mandatory) The device ID. |
hdsId | Integer | (Mandatory) The device datasource ID. |
id | Integer | (Mandatory) The instance ID that you want to update. |
opType | String | Specify the operation type. Accepted values are refresh (default), replace, and add. |
isUNCInstance | Boolean | Indicates if UNC monitoring is enabled for the device. |
stopMonitoring | Boolean | Indicates if monitoring is disabled for the instance. |
displayName | String | (Mandatory) It is the instance alias. It is the descriptive name of the instance, and should be unique to the device/datasource combination. |
wildValue2 | String | Only used for two dimensional active discovery. When used, during active discovery runs, the token ##WILDVALUE## is replaced with the value of ALIAS and the token ##WILDVALUE2## is replaced with the value of the second part alias. This value must be unique to the device/datasource/WILDVALUE combination. |
groupId | Integer | The instance group ID associated with the datasource instance. |
description | String | The description of the datasource instance. |
disableAlerting | Boolean | Indicates if alerting is disabled for the instance. |
systemProperties | JSON Array | Specify the name and value of instance level system properties assigned to the instance. |
autoProperties | JSON Array | Specify the name and value of instance level auto properties assigned to the instance. |
customProperties | JSON Array | Specify the name and value of instance level custom properties assigned to the instance. |
lockDescription | Boolean | Indicates if active discovery is enabled and if the instance description is editable. |
wildValue | String | (Mandatory) The variable part of the instance, used to query data from a device. For example, variable part of the SNMP OID tree. This value must be unique for the device/datasource combination, unless two-dimensional active discovery is used. |
