Description

Scheduler Service - a service that can be used to schedule invocation of a URL. Requires the use of interval(s), and interval action(s).

Interval(s)

: - name - unique name of the service. - start - identifies when the operation starts. Expressed in ISO 8601 YYYYMMDD't'HHmmss format. Empty means now. - end - identifies when the operation ends. Expressed in ISO 8601 YYYYMMDD't'HHmmss format. Empty means never - frequency - identifies the interval between invocations. Expressed in ISO 8601 PxYxMxDTxHxMxS format. Empty means no frequency.

Interval Action(s)

: - name - unique name of the interval action. - interval - unique name of an existing interval. - target - the recipient of the interval action (ergo service or name). - protocol - the protocol type to be used to contact the target. (example HTTP). - httpMethod - HTTP protocol verb. - address - the endpoint server host. - port - the desired port. - path - the api path which will be acted on. - parameters - (optional) parameters which will be included in the BODY tag for HttpMethods. Any parameters that should be provided to the call, e.g. {"milliseconds":86400000}

Examples

Create an interval upon which the scheduler will operate :

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{

: "name": "midnight", "start": "20180101T000000", "frequency": "P1D"}' "http://localhost:48081/api/v1/interval"

Example of a second interval which will run every 20 seconds :

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{

: "name": "every20s", "start":"20000101T000000", "end":"", "frequency":"PT20S"}' "http://localhost:48081/api/v1/interval"

Create an interval action that will invoke the interval action (drive the scrubber) in core-data :

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{

: "name": "scrub-pushed-events", "interval": "midnight", "target": "core-data", "protocol": "http", "httpMethod": "DELETE", "address": "localhost", "port": 48080, "path": "/api/v1/event/scrub"}' "http://localhost:48085/api/v1/intervalaction"

This is a Random-Boolean-Device which created by edgex-device-virtual that connects every 20 seconds. :

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{

: "name": "put-action", "interval": "every20s", "target": "edgex-device-modbus", "protocol": "http", "httpMethod": "PUT", "address": "localhost", "port": 49990, "path":"/api/v1/device/name/Random-Boolean-Device/RandomValue_Bool", "parameters": "{"RandomValue_Bool": "true","EnableRandomization_Bool": "true"}"

}' "http://localhost:48085/api/v1/intervalaction"
