Retrieve an application

Contributors

GET /application/applications/{uuid}

Introduced In: 9.6

Retrieves an application

Expensive properties

There is an added cost to retrieving values for these properties. They are not included by default in GET results and must be explicitly requested using the fields query parameter. See Requesting specific fields to learn more.

  • <template> the property corresponding to the template.name of the application

Property overview

An application includes three main groups or properties.

  • Generic properties - such as the name, template.name, and state of the application. These properties are all inexpensive to retrieve and their meaning is consistent for every type of application.

  • statistics.* - application statistics report live usage data about the application and its components. Various space and IOPS details are included at both the application level and at a per component level. The application model includes a detailed description of each property. These properties are slightly more expensive than the generic properties because live data must be collected from every storage element in the application.

  • <template> - the property corresponding to the value of the template.name returns the contents of the application in the same layout that was used to provision the application. This information is very expensive to retrieve because it requires collecting information about all the storage and access settings for every element of the application. There are a few notable limitations to what can be returned in the <template> section:

    • The new_igroups array of many SAN templates is not returned by GET. This property allows igroup creation in the same call that creates an application, but is not a property of the application itself. The new_igroups array is allowed during PATCH operations, but that does not modify the new_igroups of the application. It is another way to allow igroup creation while updating the application to use a different igroup.

    • The vdi_on_san and vdi_on_nas desktops.count property is rounded to the nearest 1000 during creation, and is reported with that rounding applied.

    • The mongo_db_on_san dataset.element_count property is rounded up to an even number, and is reported with that rounding applied.

    • The sql_on_san and sql_on_smb server_cores_count property is limited to 8 for GET operations. Higher values are accepted by POST, but the impact of the server_cores_count property on the application layout currently reaches its limit at 8.

string

path

True

Application UUID

fields

array[string]

False

Specify the fields to return.

Response

Status: 200, Ok
Name Type Description

_links

_links

creation_timestamp

string

The time when the application was created.

delete_data

boolean

Should application storage elements be deleted? An application is considered to use storage elements from a shared storage pool. Possible values are 'true' and 'false'. If the value is 'true', the application will be deleted in its entirety. If the value is 'false', the storage elements will be disassociated from the application and preserved. The application will then be deleted.

generation

integer

The generation number of the application. This indicates which features are supported on the application. For example, generation 1 applications do not support Snapshot copies. Support for Snapshot copies was added at generation 2. Any future generation numbers and their feature set will be documented.

protection_granularity

string

Protection granularity determines the scope of Snapshot copy operations for the application. Possible values are "application" and "component".
