POST /qni/hosts/{host_id}/configs/{id}

Updates the configuration of a QNI host. You cannot use this endpoint to update a host that is a part of a QNI stack. Use the QNI Stacking API instead.

Updates the configuration of a QNI host. You cannot use this endpoint to update a host that is a part of a QNI stack. Use the QNI Stacking API instead. Configuration should contain the following fields:
  • id - Required - Number - The ID of the QNI configuration. Always equals 1 because QNI host has only one configuration.
  • host_id - Required - Number - The ID of the QNI host.
  • inspection_level - Optional - Enumeration - Depth of content inspection. The possible values are:
    • BASIC - Lowest level of inspection. Flows are detected by 5-tuple, and the number of bytes and packets that are flowing in each direction are counted.
    • ENRICHED - Each flow is identified and inspected by one of the protocol or domain inspectors. The inspection can generate many kinds of attributes.
    • ADVANCED - The highest level of inspection. It does everything that the Enriched Flows levels does, but it also scans and inspects the content of the files that it finds.
    • DEFAULT - The QNI host uses the globally-set inspection level setting.
  • raw_payload - Optional - Long - The maximum amount of data (bytes) that the QFlow Collector is set to capture and retain in the flow payload. Possible values are:
    • -1: The QNI host is set to use the globally-set raw payload setting.
    • 0: Turn the payload off.
    • 1 - 32768: The number of bytes.
  • ports - Optional - Array - The updated port configuration. Each port has the following fields:
    • port_id - Required - Number - The ID of the port.
    • type - Required - Enumeration - The mode that the port is used in. The possible values are RECEIVE, TRANSMIT.
    • source_port_id - Optional - Number - The ID of the port that re-transmits the traffic. Required only if the port type is TRANSMIT.

Response Description

The updated QNI configuration object representing a staged configuration of a QNI host.
  • id - Number - ID of the QNI Configuration. Always equals 1 because QNI host has only one configuration.
  • host_id - Number - ID of the QNI host.
  • inspection_level - Enumeration - Depth of content inspection. The possible values are:
    • BASIC - Lowest level of inspection. Flows are detected by 5-tuple, and the number of bytes and packets that are flowing in each direction are counted.
    • ENRICHED - Each flow is identified and inspected by one of the protocol or domain inspectors. The inspection can generate many kinds of attributes.
    • ADVANCED - The highest level of inspection. It does everything that the Enriched Flows levels does, but it also scans and inspects the content of the files that it finds.

  • raw_payload - Long - The maximum amount of data (bytes) that the QFlow Collector is set to capture and retain in the flow payload. Possible values are:
    • -1: The QNI host is set to use the globally-set raw payload setting.
    • 0: Turn the payload off.
    • 1 - 32768: The number of bytes.
  • ports - Array - Array of configured network card ports. Each port has the following fields:
    • port_id - Number - The ID of the port.
    • type - Enumeration - The mode that the port is used in. The possible values are RECEIVE, TRANSMIT. RECEIVE type indicates the port is configured to receive traffic. TRANSMIT type indicates the port is transmitting traffic duplicated from another port.
    • source_port_id - Number - The ID of the port the that re-transmits the traffic. Only populated if the port type is TRANSMIT.
