api

Use Tenzir's REST API directly from a pipeline.

api endpoint:string, [request_body:string]

Description​

The api operator interacts with Tenzir's REST API without needing to spin up a web server, making all APIs accessible from within pipelines.

endpoint: string​

The endpoint to request, e.g., /pipeline/list to list all managed pipelines.

Tenzir's REST API specification lists all available endpoints.

request_body: string (optional)​

A single string containing the JSON request body to send with the request.

Examples​

List all running pipelines​

api "/pipeline/list"

Create a new pipeline and start it immediately​

api "/pipeline/create", {
  name: "Suricata Import",
  definition: "from file /tmp/eve.sock read suricata",
  autostart: { created: true },
}
