A first API call: What deployments are there?

edit

As a first API call, let’s use a GET request to retrieve information about existing deployments:

curl -k -X GET -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ECE_API_KEY" https://$COORDINATOR_HOST:12443/api/v1/deployments
{
  "deployments" : [
    {
      "id" : "05d846daf43545a2a58e418cacd02eef",
      "name" : "security-cluster",
      "resources" : [
        {
          "ref_id" : "elasticsearch",
          "id" : "05d846daf43545a2a58e418cacd02eef",
          "kind" : "elasticsearch",
          "region" : "ece-region",
          "cloud_id" : "security-cluster:MTkyLjE2OC...WVmJA=="
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id" : "8eb31cf464cc4b9cb5544226edc239b3",
      "name" : "logging-and-metrics",
      "resources" : [
        {
          "ref_id" : "elasticsearch",
          "id" : "8eb31cf464cc4b9cb5544226edc239b3",
          "kind" : "elasticsearch",
          "region" : "ece-region",
          "cloud_id" : "logging-and-metrics:MTkyLjE2OC40N...hY2Y3Y2My"
        },
        {
          "ref_id" : "kibana",
          "elasticsearch_cluster_ref_id" : "elasticsearch",
          "id" : "39984425c7824c79a7d45b263acf7cc2",
          "kind" : "kibana",
          "region" : "ece-region"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id" : "a9311994df4046d5a6b84edfc5c49ff5",
      "name" : "admin-console-elasticsearch",
      "resources" : [
        {
          "ref_id" : "elasticsearch",
          "id" : "a9311994df4046d5a6b84edfc5c49ff5",
          "kind" : "elasticsearch",
          "region" : "ece-region",
          "cloud_id" : "admin-console-elasticsearch:MTkyLjE2OC...ZmY1JA=="
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

There are three deployments, security-cluster, logging-and-metrics, and admin-console-elasticsearch, which get created with every installation of Elastic Cloud Enterprise. Take care when modifying these deployments, as they are part of the control plane of ECE. To keep your installation safe, some operations are not allowed on these deployments, but we do recommend that you enable fault tolerance for their Elasticsearch resources and resize them.

In order to obtain more detail about a specific deployment, we can use a GET request using the deployment ID from the previous response:

curl -k -X GET -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ECE_API_KEY" https://$COORDINATOR_HOST:12443/api/v1/deployments/$DEPLOYMENT_ID
{
  "id": "a9311994df4046d5a6b84edfc5c49ff5",
  "name": "admin-console-elasticsearch",
  "healthy": true,
  "resources": {
    "elasticsearch": [
      {
        "ref_id": "elasticsearch",
        "id": "a9311994df4046d5a6b84edfc5c49ff5",
        "region": "ece-region",
        "info": {
          "cluster_id": "a9311994df4046d5a6b84edfc5c49ff5",
          "cluster_name": "admin-console-elasticsearch",
          "deployment_id": "a9311994df4046d5a6b84edfc5c49ff5",
          "healthy": true,
          "status": "started",
          "plan_info": {
            "healthy": true,
            ...
          },
          "topology": {
            ...
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "metadata": {
    "owner_id": "admin",
    "system_owned": true,
    "hidden": false,
    "last_modified": "2020-02-11T09:56:54.547Z"
  }
}

To simplify things, we’ve omitted some sections from the JSON output.
