Archetypes

Work in progress

An archetype is a pre-recorded device.

Archetype can be used :

• To create profiles for device with pre-recorded configuration components and usage. For example : a high performance server.

• To pre-record real devices For example : dellr740

Using archetype in /model routes

You can retrieve the impacts of a specific archetype by specifying its name in the /model routes of devices.

Example

/v1/server/model?archetype=dellR740 : will return the impact of the pre-recorded dellR740.

Using archetype in model object

You can specify an archetype in the model of a device when you send a device to the api. When doing so, missing data are retrieved from the archetype instead of default data.

Example

{
    "model": {
        ...
        "archetype": "dellR740"
    },
    "config": {
        ...
    },
    "usage": {
        ...
    }
}

All the missing data will be set with the corresponding data of the dellR740.
