Populate instance list and get the instance id (external)

Fri, 21 Apr 2023 07:10:16 GMT

We need the list of instance id (like externald in server list) to be used as backend for Cloudformation based catalog item.

Using Morpheus api /instances, shows the instance name but cannot get AWS instance id like i-xxxxx. I have tried Instances Wiki but it does not provided full instance list as well as InstanceId is number. Servers and Servers Wiki not provided the result as well.

@vsenthilkarasu Thanks. I am now able to get the severs, but it is not listing all the servers, so I modified the query as below but it is showing error:

query - https://xxx/api/servers?max=2200

error: Error Making HTTP Request for https://xxxx/api/servers?max=2200 - null

Also If I create two variables with the same option list to select server 1 and server 2, it does not populate data at all.

N.B. max=100 seems to work.

@vsenthilkarasu Thanks but it does not work as well, I am using typehead but it is not allowing me to select multiple servers as well -

Type AWS ALB Targets (typeahead) <%= customOptions.albtargets %>

Even when I select I server I am getting only the server name, not the external id,

Here is my Morpheus API query in the Option list -

if (input.cloudlist && input.grouplist) {
for (var x = 0; x < data.length; x++) {
results.push({name:data.name, value:data.externalId});
}
}

But it returns name, not the externalId.

you have mentioned as servers.externalId but it does not show any servers in typehead box at all.

Hi Ripon_Banik,

REST Option List sample below.
Translation Script:
for(var x=0;x <data.servers.length; x++){
results.push({name: data.servers.name,value: data.servers.externalId})
}

Request Script:
results=[{name: “zoneId”,value: input.vsClouds}]

for the typeahead option, please ensure “ALLOW MULTIPLE SELECTIONS” is checked.
The output would be “[i-0a8e257cc829972e5, i-00e8dfe5a1498dcd4]” if you select 2 AWS servers in typeahead.

Thanks
Velan

Hi Ripon_Banik,

you can achieve it by using REST option list, please find the REST endpoint,

/api/servers?name=
O/P :- servers.externalId

/api/instances/?name=
O/P :- instances.containerDetails.server.externalId

Thanks
Velan
