- Call Cluster state altering methods

Request syntax

post api/v2/jobs/rvc '{"method":"cluster.disable_maintenance_mode","hostnames":["<node_hostname>"]}'

Request parameters

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
`method`	String	The RVC action to start. This value is specified as a combination of the RVC module and method. For example, to turn off maintenance mode for a target you would specify the `cluster` module and the `disable_maintenance_mode` method combined as `cluster.disable_maintenance_mode`.	Yes
`hostnames`	String array	The list of node hostnames on which to run the RVC job.	Dependent. Only if no node group or saved filter is provided.
`node_group_name`	String	The name of the node group on which to run the RVC job. The RVC job will run on all nodes that are members of the node group.	Dependent. Only if no hostnames or saved filter is provided.
`node_group_id`	Integer	The ID of the node group on which to run the RVC job. The RVC job will run on all nodes that are members of the node group.	Dependent. Only if no hostnames or saved filter is provided.
`saved_filter_name`	String	The name of the saved filter on which to run the RVC job. The RVC job will run on all nodes that match the saved filter.	Dependent. Only if no hostnames or node group is provided.
`saved_filter_id`	Integer	The ID of the saved filter on which to run the RVC job. The RVC job will run on all nodes that match the saved filter.	Dependent. Only if no hostnames or node group is provided.

            "string",
            "string"
        ]
    },
    "time_started": "timestamp"
}

When the node group or saved filter request parameters are used, the following response syntax is received.

    "id": integer,
    "type": "RVC3",
    "status": "string",
    "message": "string",
    "trigged_by": "string",

If the action is successful, an HTTP 200 response is returned. The following data is returned in JSON format.

Field	Type	Description
`id`	Integer	The ID of the RVC job.
`type`	String	The type of RVC job. For RVC jobs, it is `RVC3`.
`status`	String	The status of the job.
`message`	String	This field is reserved for internal use.
`trigged_by`	String	The username of the person who initiated the job.
