4.3.2. Connections¶

API for working with adapter connections.

class axonius_api_client.api.adapters.cnx.Cnx(parent)[source]¶

Bases: ChildMixins

API model for working with adapter connections.

Examples

Create a client using axonius_api_client.connect.Connect

Add a connection: add()
Get all connections for an adapter: get_by_adapter()
Get a connection for an adapter by UUID: get_by_uuid()
Get a connection for an adapter by connection label: get_by_label()
Get a connection for an adapter by ID: get_by_id()
Update a connection for an adapter by ID: update_by_id()
Delete a connection for an adapter by ID: delete_by_id()
Test a connections parameters for an adapter without creating the connection: test()
Work with adapters axonius_api_client.api.adapters.adapters.Adapters

Notes

All methods use the Core instance by default, but you can work with another instance by passing the name of the instance to adapter_node.

Supplying unknown keys/values for configurations will throw an error showing the valid keys/values.

Parameters: parent (axonius_api_client.api.mixins.Model) –

get_by_adapter(adapter_name, adapter_node=None, tunnel=None)[source]¶

Get all connections of an adapter on a node.

Examples

First, create a client using axonius_api_client.connect.Connect.
