Request

HTTP Request

POST /node/api/bulk/objects

Permissions

Path parameters

No parameters required.

Body parameters

The request body consists of two parts — search and bulk. search describes the search criteria for objects. bulk describes operations that would be performed on the objects that fit the search criteria.

{
    "search": {
        ...
    },
    "bulk": [
        {
            ...
        },
        {
            ...
        }
        ...
    ]
}

This request uses the same search criteria as the Search Objects request to find the objects to perform the bulk operation on.

All search parameters are optional. If you set no parameters, all objects in the systems will be returned.

Bulk

The bulk variable stores the information about the operation that will be performed on the selected objects.

Parameter Type Description
modify Object The object's parameters to modify. See the Object model page to see all parameters that you can modify.
properties.createOrModify Object The properties to modify. Properties include custom properties, AgentId, TaskPeriodValue, TaskPeriodUnit.
stateConditions Object The State Conditions to modify.
stateTriggers Object The State Triggers to modify.
incidentConditions Object The Incident Conditions to modify.
