Request

HTTP Request

PUT /node/api/objects/:id/manual-state

Permissions

objectPermissions & (modify-objects | manage-objects)

Path parameters

Parameter Type Description

id

String
required

The ID or discovery ID of the object whose manual state must be set.

Body parameters

Parameter Type Description

stateId

String
required

The ID of a state to be set.

clear

Boolean

Whether to clear a previously set state. If set to true, the stateId parameter isn’t required.

since

String

A timestamp since when the state should be set.

until

Integer

A timestamp when the state should be unset.

reason

String

The reason why the state was set.

clearedByState

Array

A list of states that trigger a cleaning of the current state.

Request body

{
    "stateId": 3,
    "clear": false,
    "reason": "Testing"
}

You can set the time at which the object will switch to the specified state with the since parameter. At the timestamp, specified in the until field, the object will automatically reset back to the state it was in before you set it manually.

You can set either of these parameters or both at the same time.

{
    "stateId": 4,
    "reason": "Setting the timed state",
    "since": 1666281549581,
    "until": 1666282447355
}

Response

Returns the object whose state was manually set. See the Object model for a list of fields that this request returns.

If the state was set, the object’s manual_state variable would contain the state’s ID, the reason and the ID of the user who set the state. If the state was cleared, the object’s manual_state variable would be set to null (even if manual state wasn’t set before). See the Manual State model for more information.
