UCD Agents Filter By Relay type

Hi team,


https://localhost:8443/#resources/agents

On Agent page under resources there is an option to filter agents by relay they are currently connected to.

Under the relay name dropdown there should be an option to filter agents not connected to any relay (those directly connected to server and No Relay).

For e.g., we have more than 6000+ agents and some old agents are still directly connected to the server directly (with relay option as None/Blank) and to search such agents for an admin we have to check every agent page as those connected directly appear in random orders (not together) as the up/down option as present for for e.g., for Date Created is also not present in the Relay to order them.

Please check the attachments for the relay filter on agent page. As you can see those agents not connected to any relay appear in the random order and not grouped together.

Thanks.

    Please check the REST APIs which can help you to get the list of not connected agents. And based on the output it could do f.e. linking the agents automatically to an relay...

    I have added here an example from my demo server for searching for agents which do not have a connection to a relay:

    If an agent is connected to an Relay it has relayId set. If not it is not available. The next step could be to filter this json to show only the agents which do not have this key "relayId".


    Here my example call, i am using on a linux shell cURL and jq (a "json formatter" for the command line )

    curl -k -u PasswordIsAuthToken:fxxxxx-axxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx https://ucd.nbg-demo.cloud:8443/cli/agentCLI | jq

    My next call is filtering out all agents which have relayId set and show only ones without this key:

    curl -k -u PasswordIsAuthToken:f7xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx https://ucd.nbg-demo.cloud:8443/cli/agentCLI | jq '[ .[] | select (has("relayId") == false )]'
