The
HTTP-REST
plug-in allows you to manage REST Web services by providing interaction between
vRealize Orchestrator
and REST hosts. You can define REST services and their operations as inventory objects by running configuration workflows, and perform REST operations on the defined objects.
The plug-in contains a set of standard workflows related to managing REST hosts and invoking REST operations. You can also generate custom workflows to automate tasks in a REST environment.
Persistent and Transient REST Hosts
The
HTTP-REST
plug-in supports two types of REST hosts that you can use to make requests to REST endpoints - persistent hosts and transient hosts.
Configuring the HTTP-REST Plug-In
You can configure
HTTP-REST
by running the configuration workflows included in the plug-in. The Configuration workflow category contains workflows that help you to manage REST hosts.
Generate a New Workflow from a REST Operation
You can create a custom workflow from a REST operation.
Invoke a REST Operation
