/rest/playbook_run

Run a playbook against a container.

Syntax

https://<username>:<password>@<host>/rest/playbook_run

POST

Run a playbook against a container.

Request parameters
Running playbooks are modified with the following parameters. No other fields can be updated at this time.

Field Required Type Description
container_id required integer Id of the container to run the playbook on.
playbook_id required integer or string The name of the playbook in the form "/". Also can be the Id of the playbook to run.
scope optional list of integers or string Can be a string containing "all" or "new" or a list of integers containing artifact Ids. This allows the playbook to be run against a specific set of artifacts.
run required Boolean true. Request the playbook to be run.

Example request
Run the container Id "my_playbook" against container 42.

curl -k -u admin:changeme https://localhost/rest/playbook_run \

	"scope": "new",
	"run": true
}'

Example response
A successful POST will return back an acknowledgement indicator and the ID of the newly created playbook run. Note that this API will only queue the playbook to run. The result indicates that the request is received, however the playbook may not successfully run (if there is a problem with the playbook, for example).

    "received": true
}
