Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

Request Parameters¶

Request Path Parameters¶

This endpoint does not use HTTP request path parameters.

Request Query Parameters¶

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Cloud Manager API resources. These are all optional.

Name Type Description Default

pretty boolean Indicates whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format. false

envelope

boolean

Indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

status: HTTP response code
envelope: The expected response body

false

Request Body Parameters¶

Name Type Description

name string Required. The display name for the group.

orgId

string

Optional. The unique identifier for the organization in which to create the group. You can find the orgId of an existing organization by logging into the Cloud Manager UI.

If orgId is unspecified, Cloud Manager creates a new organization with the same name as the new group.

To create a project within an existing organization, you must have either Organization Project Creator role or Organization Owner role for the organization.

Response¶

Name	Type	Description
activeAgentCount	number	The number of active agents of any type (Monitoring, Backup, Automation) sending regular pings to Cloud Manager. The value is refreshed every 30 minutes. If you start a new agent or stop an existing one, the change can take up to 30 minutes to show up in the `activeAgentCount` field.
agentApiKey	string	The agent API key for the group. You must have the `Owner` access for the group.
hostCounts	object	The total number of hosts by type. The embedded fields should be self-explanatory.
id	string	The unique identifier for the group.
lastActiveAgent	date	The time Cloud Manager last updated the `activeAgentCount` total for the group. Cloud Manager runs a job every 30 minutes to record the number of active agents of any type (Monitoring, Backup, Automation).
links	object array	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification
name	string	The display name for the group.
orgId	string	The unique identifier for the organization to which the group/project belongs.
publicApiEnabled	boolean	The indicator that the Public API is enabled for this group. This is a read-only field that is always `true`.

shardCount	number	The total number of shards for this group.
