MAAS API

Restful MAAS API.

This is the documentation for the API that lets you control and query MAAS. The API is "Restful", which means that you access it through normal HTTP requests.

API versions

At any given time, MAAS may support multiple versions of its API. The version number is included in the API's URL, e.g. /api/2.0/

For now, 2.0 is the only supported version.

The current API version number can be retrieved by issuing a GET to "/api/version/". Accessing an old or unknown API version URL will result in a "410 GONE" being returned, along with a descriptive error message. Both the error message and the api version are returned as plaintext.

HTTP methods and parameter-passing

The following HTTP methods are available for accessing the API: - GET (for information retrieval and queries), - POST (for asking the system to do things), - PUT (for updating objects), and - DELETE (for deleting objects).

All methods except DELETE may take parameters, but they are not all passed in the same way. GET parameters are passed in the URL, as is normal with a GET: "/item/?foo=bar" passes parameter "foo" with value "bar".

POST and PUT are different. Your request should have MIME type "multipart/form-data"; each part represents one parameter (for POST) or attribute (for PUT). Each part is named after the parameter or attribute it contains, and its contents are the conveyed value.

All parameters are in text form. If you need to submit binary data to the API, don't send it as any MIME binary format; instead, send it as a plain text part containing base64-encoded data.

Most resources offer a choice of GET or POST operations. In those cases these methods will take one special parameter, called op, to indicate what it is you want to do.

For example, to list all machines, you might GET "/MAAS/api/2.0/machines".

Commissioning scripts

Manage custom commissioning scripts.

This functionality is only available to administrators.

This endpoint has been deprecated in favor of the node-scripts endpoint.

`GET /MAAS/api/2.0/commissioning-scripts/`

List commissioning scripts.

`POST /MAAS/api/2.0/commissioning-scripts/`

Create a new commissioning script.

Each commissioning script is identified by a unique name.

By convention the name should consist of a two-digit number, a dash, and a brief descriptive identifier consisting only of ASCII characters. You don't need to follow this convention, but not doing so opens you up to risks w.r.t. encoding and ordering. The name must not contain any whitespace, quotes, or apostrophes.

A commissioning machine will run each of the scripts in lexicographical order. There are no promises about how non-ASCII characters are sorted, or even how upper-case letters are sorted relative to lower-case letters. So where ordering matters, use unique numbers.

Scripts built into MAAS will have names starting with "00-maas" or "99-maas" to ensure that they run first or last, respectively.

Usually a commissioning script will be just that, a script. Ideally a script should be ASCII text to avoid any confusion over encoding. But in some cases a commissioning script might consist of a binary tool provided by a hardware vendor. Either way, the script gets passed to the commissioning machine in the exact form in which it was uploaded.

param name Unique identifying name for the script. Names should follow the pattern of "25-burn-in-hard-disk" (all ASCII, and with numbers greater than zero, and generally no "weird" characters).
param content A script file, to be uploaded in binary form. Note: this is not a normal parameter, but a file upload. Its filename is ignored; MAAS will know it by the name you pass to the request.

This command causes each connected rack controller to execute the 'maas-rack scan-network' command, which will scan all CIDRs configured on the rack controller using 'nmap' (if it is installed) or 'ping'.

Network discovery must not be set to 'disabled' for this command to be useful.

Scanning will be started in the background, and could take a long time on rack controllers that do not have 'nmap' installed and are connected to large networks.

If the call is a success, this method will return a dictionary of results as follows:

result: A human-readable string summarizing the results. scan_attempted_on: A list of rack 'system_id' values where a scan was attempted. (That is, an RPC connection was successful and a subsequent call was intended.)

failed_to_connect_to: A list of rack 'system_id' values where the RPC connection failed.

scan_started_on: A list of rack 'system_id' values where a scan was successfully started.

scan_failed_on: A list of rack 'system_id' values where a scan was attempted, but failed because a scan was already in progress.

rpc_call_timed_out_on: A list of rack 'system_id' values where the RPC connection was made, but the call timed out before a ten second timeout elapsed.

param cidr The subnet CIDR(s) to scan (can be specified multiple times). If not specified, defaults to all networks.
param force If True, will force the scan, even if all networks are specified. (This may not be the best idea, depending on acceptable use agreements, and the politics of the organization that owns the network.) Default: False.
param always_use_ping If True, will force the scan to use 'ping' even if 'nmap' is installed. Default: False.
param slow If True, and 'nmap' is being used, will limit the scan to nine packets per second. If the scanner is 'ping', this option has no effect. Default: False.
param threads The number of threads to use during scanning. If 'nmap' is the scanner, the default is one thread per 'nmap' process. If 'ping' is the scanner, the default is four threads per CPU.

max_node_commissioning_results The maximum number of commissioning results runs which are stored.
max_node_installation_results The maximum number of installation result runs which are stored.
max_node_testing_results The maximum number of testing results runs which are stored.
network_discovery . When enabled, MAAS will use passive techniques (such as listening to ARP requests and mDNS advertisements) to observe networks attached to rack controllers. Active subnet mapping will also be available to be enabled on the configured subnets.
ntp_external_only Use external NTP servers only. Configure all region controller hosts, rack controller hosts, and subsequently deployed machines to refer directly to the configured external NTP servers. Otherwise only region controller hosts will be configured to use those external NTP servers, rack contoller hosts will in turn refer to the regions' NTP servers, and deployed machines will refer to the racks' NTP servers.
ntp_servers Addresses of NTP servers. NTP servers, specified as IP addresses or hostnames delimited by commas and/or spaces, to be used as time references for MAAS itself, the machines MAAS deploys, and devices that make use of MAAS's DHCP services.
prefer_v4_proxy Sets IPv4 DNS resolution before IPv6. If prefer_v4_proxy is set, the proxy will be set to prefer IPv4 DNS resolution before it attempts to perform IPv6 DNS resolution.
subnet_ip_exhaustion_threshold_count If the number of free IP addresses on a subnet becomes less than or equal to this threshold, an IP exhaustion warning will appear for that subnet.
upstream_dns Upstream DNS used to resolve domains not managed by this MAAS (space-separated IP addresses). Only used when MAAS is running its own DNS server. This value is used as the value of 'forwarders' in the DNS server config.
use_peer_proxy Use the built-in proxy with an external proxy as a peer. If enable_http_proxy is set, the built-in proxy will be configured to use http_proxy as a peer proxy. The deployed machines will be configured to use the built-in proxy.
windows_kms_host Windows KMS activation host. FQDN or IP address of the host that provides the KMS Windows activation service. (Only needed for Windows deployments using KMS activation.)

Machine

Manage an individual Machine.

The Machine is identified by its system_id.

`DELETE /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/`

Delete a specific Node.

Returns 404 if the node is not found. Returns 403 if the user does not have permission to delete the node. Returns 204 if the node is successfully deleted.

`GET /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/`

Read a specific Node.

Returns 404 if the node is not found.

`GET /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/ op=details`

Obtain various system details.

For example, LLDP and lshw XML dumps.

Returns a {detail_type: xml, ...} map, where detail_type is something like "lldp" or "lshw".

Note that this is returned as BSON and not JSON. This is for efficiency, but mainly because JSON can't do binary content without applying additional encoding like base-64.

Returns 404 if the node is not found.

`GET /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/ op=get_curtin_config`

Return the rendered curtin configuration for the machine.

Returns 404 if the machine could not be found. Returns 403 if the user does not have permission to get the curtin configuration.

`GET /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/ op=power_parameters`

Obtain power parameters.

This method is reserved for admin users and returns a 403 if the user is not one.

This returns the power parameters, if any, configured for a node. For some types of power control this will include private information such as passwords and secret keys.

Returns 404 if the node is not found.

`GET /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/ op=query_power_state`

Query the power state of a node.

Send a request to the node's power controller which asks it about the node's state. The reply to this could be delayed by up to 30 seconds while waiting for the power controller to respond. Use this method sparingly as it ties up an appserver thread while waiting.

param system_id The node to query.
return a dict whose key is "state" with a value of one of 'on' or 'off'.

Returns 404 if the node is not found. Returns node's power state.

`POST /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/ op=abort`

Abort a node's current operation.

param comment Optional comment for the event log.

`POST /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/ op=clear_default_gateways`

Clear any set default gateways on the machine.

This will clear both IPv4 and IPv6 gateways on the machine. This will transition the logic of identifing the best gateway to MAAS. This logic is determined based the following criteria:

Managed subnets over unmanaged subnets.
Bond interfaces over physical interfaces.
Machine's boot interface over all other interfaces except bonds.
Physical interfaces over VLAN interfaces.
Sticky IP links over user reserved IP links.
User reserved IP links over auto IP links.

If the default gateways need to be specific for this machine you can set which interface and subnet's gateway to use when this machine is deployed with the interfaces set-default-gateway API.

Returns 404 if the machine could not be found. Returns 403 if the user does not have permission to clear the default gateways.

param subnets Subnets that must be linked to the machine.

"Linked to" means the node must be configured to acquire an address in the specified subnet, have a static IP address in the specified subnet, or have been observed to DHCP from the specified subnet during commissioning time (which implies that it could have an address on the specified subnet).

Subnets can be specified by one of the following criteria:

<id>: match the subnet by its 'id' field
fabric:<fabric-spec>:

match all subnets in a given fabric. - ip:<ip-address>:

Match the subnet containing <ip-address> with the with the longest-prefix match.

name:<subnet-name>:

Match a subnet with the given name. - space:<space-spec>:

Match all subnets in a given space. - vid:<vid-integer>:

Match a subnet on a VLAN with the specified VID. Valid values range from 0 through 4094 (inclusive).

vlan:<vlan-spec>:

Match all subnets on the given VLAN.

Note that (as of this writing), the 'fabric', 'space', 'vid', and 'vlan' specifiers are only useful for the 'not_spaces' version of this constraint, because they will most likely force the query to match ALL the subnets in each fabric, space, or VLAN, and thus not return any nodes. (This is not a particularly useful behavior, so may be changed in the future.)

If multiple subnets are specified, the machine must be associated with all of them. To request multiple subnets, this parameter must be repeated in the request with each value.

Note that this replaces the leagcy 'networks' constraint in MAAS 1.x.

type subnets unicode (accepts multiple)

Required parameters

cidr The network CIDR for this subnet.

Optional parameters

name Name of the subnet.

description Description of the subnet.

vlan VLAN this subnet belongs to. Defaults to the default VLAN for the provided fabric or defaults to the default VLAN in the default fabric (if unspecified).

fabric Fabric for the subnet. Defaults to the fabric the provided VLAN belongs to, or defaults to the default fabric.

vid VID of the VLAN this subnet belongs to. Only used when vlan is not provided. Picks the VLAN with this VID in the provided fabric or the default fabric if one is not given.

space Space this subnet is in. Defaults to the default space.

gateway_ip The gateway IP address for this subnet.

rdns_mode How reverse DNS is handled for this subnet. One of: 0 (Disabled), 1 (Enabled), or 2 (RFC2317). Disabled means no reverse zone is created; Enabled means generate the reverse zone; RFC2317 extends Enabled to create the necessary parent zone with the appropriate CNAME resource records for the network, if the network is small enough to require the support described in RFC2317.

allow_proxy Configure maas-proxy to allow requests from this subnet.

dns_servers Comma-seperated list of DNS servers for this subnet.

managed In MAAS 2.0+, all subnets are assumed to be managed by default.

Only managed subnets allow DHCP to be enabled on their related dynamic ranges. (Thus, dynamic ranges become "informational only"; an indication that another DHCP server is currently handling them, or that MAAS will handle them when the subnet is enabled for management.)

Managed subnets do not allow IP allocation by default. The meaning of a "reserved" IP range is reversed for an unmanaged subnet. (That is, for managed subnets, "reserved" means "MAAS cannot allocate any IP address within this reserved block". For unmanaged subnets, "reserved" means "MAAS must allocate IP addresses only from reserved IP ranges".
