Look up Deployment Details

To look up deployment details such as the resources provisioned for each deployment, you use the Deployment APIs to make a GET request that displays all available resources. Then you use the resource ID in the output to make a GET request that returns the details of a particular resource.

Prerequisites

• Verify that all general prerequisites and prerequisites for the Automation Service Broker Deployment service have been satisfied. See Prerequisites for API Use Case Examples.
• Verify that you have a deployment ID for the deployment that you requested. See Deploy Your Cloud Template.

Procedure

1. Assign the deployment ID variable.

   deployment_id='<your_deployment_id>'

2. Display all the available resources that are provisioned in your deployment.

   curl -X GET \
     $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id?expand=resources&apiVersion=$api_version \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."
   

3. Examine the response to find the ID of the resource for which you want details.
4. Assign the deployment resource ID.

   deployment_resource_id='<your_deployment_resource_id>'

5. Display the details of that resource.

   curl -X GET \
     $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id/resources/$deployment_resource_id?apiVersion=$api_version \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

6. List the deployment events.

   curl -X GET \
     $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id/events?apiVersion=$api_version \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

   In case of deployment failures, listing deployment events can help with debugging.

Example: Look up the details of a provisioned resource in your deployment

Display the resources provisioned in your deployment.

Assign variables.

Note: If your organization uses an API service that is hosted outside of the United States, your URL variable must include a country abbreviation. See Regional Endpoints for VMware Aria Automation APIs.

$ url='https://api.mgmt.cloud.vmware.com'
$ api_version='2020-08-25'
$ deployment_id='15454178-63fc-42ea-b4ad-7ed8a5cdb128'

Look up deployment details.

$ curl -X GET \
  $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id?expand=resources&apiVersion=$api_version \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

A snippet of the response shows the details for each resource details including a deployment resource ID.

...
    "resources": [
    {
      "id": "3994a33e-bd93-4eea-87f1-f99ff17717ce",
      "name": "BasicCloudMachine[0]",
...

Assign the deployment resource ID variable for the BasicCloudMachine resource.

$ deployment_resource_id='3994a33e-bd93-4eea-87f1-f99ff17717ce'

Display the details of that resource.

$ curl -X GET \
  $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id/resources/$deployment_resource_id?apiVersion=$api_version \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

A snippet of the response shows the details of the single resource.

  "id": "3994a33e-bd93-4eea-87f1-f99ff17717ce",
  "name": "BasicCloudMachine[0]",
  "type": "Cloud.Machine",

     "networks": [

      }
        ],

    "__ext:ComputeReservationTaskState:STARTED:SELECTED": "true",
    "__ext:ComputeAllocationTaskState:STARTED:START_COMPUTE_ALLOCATION": "true"
  },
  "state": "OK"
}

List events from the deployment.

$ curl -X GET \
  $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id/events?apiVersion=$api_version \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

A snippet of the response shows successful events.

...
      "totalTasks": 3,
      "status": "SUCCESSFUL",
      "inputs": {
        "count": 2,
        "image": "ubuntu",
        "flavor": "small"
