Will DataMiner user-defined APIs allow other systems to subscribe to changes (instead of sending an HTTP GET)?
For example, to inform other systems about a new, updated or deleted DataMiner resource.
Hi Thomas,
There are currently no plans of supporting that use case in the context of User-Defined APIs. This feature is intended to allow easy interaction on a caller basis via HTTP requests. I would assume that his functionality would either require some kind of WebSocket or would send HTTP requests from the DataMiner agent to an external party.
I believe the latter is already possible by subscribing to event messages and sending the HTTP requests in a connector (not sure if this is recommended). Another possibility would be using a Correlation rule that triggers on specific information events that then executes a script that does these calls.
If you believe that this is a common use case that would warrant a dedicated feature in DataMiner, feel free to create a feature suggestion: https://community.dataminer.services/feature-suggestions.
