    REST Call Jobs

    Table of Contents

    A versatile job type that runs an arbitrary REST/HTTP/Solr command.

    REST jobs can call external systems using:

    • any HTTP or HTTPS request: <http-protocol>://<path>; requires JWT header.

    • a Solr request: solr://COLLECTION_NAME/…​; authentication is handled.

    • a Fusion service request: extservice://SERVICE_NAME/<path>; authentication is handled.

    For example, you can configure this type of job to delete your old signals data:

    1. Navigate to Collections > Jobs.

    2. Click Add and select REST Call.

      The REST Call job configuration panel appears.

    3. Enter an arbitrary ID for this job, such as "Delete-old-signals".

    4. Enter the following endpoint URI, substituting the name of your signals collection for signalsCollectionName:

      solr://signalsCollectionName/update
    5. In the Call Method field, select "post".

    6. Under Query Parameters, enter the property name "wt" with the property value "json".

    7. In the Request entity (as string) field, enter the following:

      <root><delete><query>timestamp_tdt:[* TO NOW-2WEEKS]</query></delete><commit /></root>

      See Working with Dates for details about date formatting.

      Your job configuration should look similar to this:

    You can configure a schedule for this job at System > Scheduler.
