Create a direct-connect host-group

Steps-1: Find DC Cloud Credentials ID

Request:

curl -k -H "Authorization: NIRMATA-API <key>" "https://nirmata.io/config/api/cloudProviders?filter=type,equals,Other&fields=id,name,type,modelIndex"

Response:

{
    "id" : "a41f0493-f6e0-45d6-b56b-41ab93d9d392",
    "modelIndex" : "CloudProvider",
    "type" : "Other",
    "name" : "Direct Connect"
}

Step-2: Create a DC Host Group

Request:

curl -k -H "Authorization: NIRMATA-API <key>" "https://nirmata.io/config/api/cloudProviders/a41f0493-f6e0-45d6-b56b-41ab93d9d392/hostGroups" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"name\" : \"test-dchg\"}"

Response:

"id" : "05e788fe-d03d-470c-beaa-6be342af8232",
"service" : "Config",
"modelIndex" : "HostGroup",
"uri" : "/config/api/hostGroups/05e788fe-d03d-470c-beaa-6be342af8232",
"tenantId" : "2bc8ddd6-071a-4199-8774-417e59562f97",
"parent" : {
  "id" : "29536aea-4ace-4b04-9639-3677e708b786",
  "service" : "Config",
  "modelIndex" : "CloudProvider",
  "uri" : "/config/api/cloudProviders/29536aea-4ace-4b04-9639-3677e708b786",
  "childRelation" : "hostGroups"
},

  "uuid" : "2b39ae84-5a16-4711-a398-910891aa3c61"
} ],
"labels" : {
  "nirmata.io/hostgroup.name" : "test-dchg"
},
"additionalProperties" : { },
"alarms" : [ ],
"name" : "test-dchg",
"action" : null,
"desiredCount" : 1,
"status" : [ ],

"azureConfig" : [ ],
"awsConfig" : [ ],

"hostGroupStats" : [ ],
"actions" : [ ],
"resourceSelectionRules" : [ ]
  

Step-3: Attach Nodes to the Host Group

Get the Host Group ID from the response to the create. Then run this command on each node:

Request:

sudo curl -sSL https://nirmata.io/nirmata-host-agent/setup-nirmata-agent.sh | sudo sh -s -- --cloud other --hostgroup <HOST GROUP ID>
