The Grid Management API organizes the available operations into the following sections.

Note This list only includes operations available in the public API.

  • accounts: Operations to manage storage tenant accounts, including creating new accounts and retrieving storage usage for a given account.

  • alert-history: Operations on resolved alerts.

  • alert-receivers: Operations on alert notification receivers (email).

  • alert-rules: Operations on alert rules.

  • alert-silences: Operations on alert silences.

  • alerts: Operations on alerts.

  • audit: Operations to list and update the audit configuration.

  • auth: Operations to perform user session authentication.

    The Grid Management API supports the Bearer Token Authentication Scheme. To sign in, you provide a username and password in the JSON body of the authentication request (that is, POST /api/v3/authorize). If the user is successfully authenticated, a security token is returned. This token must be provided in the header of subsequent API requests ("Authorization: Bearer token"). The token expires after 16 hours.

    Note If single sign-on is enabled for the StorageGRID system, you must perform different steps to authenticate. See "Authenticating in to the API if single sign-on is enabled."

    See "Protecting against Cross-Site Request Forgery" for information about improving authentication security.

  • client-certificates: Operations to configure client certificates so that StorageGRID can be accessed securely using external monitoring tools.
