The REST API configuration documentation is now located after all other
global parameters in its own section. Added it to the ToC and put a link
to it into the REST API overview document.
Cleaned up the documentation and reformatted the parameter list of
listener creation to be made out of links.
Added some comments to the resource declarations in resource.cc to prevent
the order of them from being altered.
The `add user` and `enable account` commands create fully privileged
administrative users like they did in 2.1. This makes the addition of
read-only users backwards compatible.
Updated and expanded the documentation on administrative interface
users. Added entries into the release notes as well as the upgrading
document about relevant changes between 2.1 and 2.2.
The PATCH method should now be used instead the PUT method to update
resources. As PUT request bodies should represent complete resources, the
use of PUT to update resources is no longer supported.
Altered tests to use PATCH instead of PUT for updating resources.
The Resources document lists all currently known resources and will be converted
to a list of separate resource documents once the individual resource documents
are done. The Headers and Response Codes document contains a list of request and
response headers and the HTTP return codes. This is a work in progress and will
be expanded upon.
Added initial versions of the filter, monitor, session and user resource
documents. These provide information about various parts of MaxScale and
allow interaction.
All PATCH operations expect a JSON Patch type document in the request
body. Examples modified accordingly.
Add MaxScale resource document which describes the resources that give the
global configuration options and show statistics.
The resources that link to other resources provide values as a list of
relative links. This reduces the amount of sent data when the client
doesn't require all parts of the resource.
Since the updating is not yet implement, it should be stated that the update API
will most likely be modified at some point.
The module resource is similar to `maxadmin show modules` and the log
resource contains status information about logs. The log resource also has
an "action" resource at `/maxscale/logs/flush` which flushes logs to disk
and rotates them.
Added start and stop entry points for services and monitors. Also added
missing service parameters to the list of parameters that can be updated.
The documentation lists listeners as a sub-resource of the
service. This allows the listeners of a particular service to be queried.
