model = “1.0.0”
enabled = true
description = “A easy exterior endpoint instance”
root_url = “https://10.1.1.1/my-service”

useful resource “vcd_api_filter” “af”
external_endpoint_id = vcd_external_endpoint.ep1.id
url_matcher_pattern = “/my-service/.*”

This launch provides a brand new argument, execution_json, that enables to outline extra complicated habits executions by offering a fancy JSON string with the specification:

useful resource “vcd_rde_interface_behavior” “habits”
rde_interface_id = vcd_rde_interface.my_interface.id
identify = “MyBehavior”

# ‘execution_json’ permits to make use of complicated constructions that aren’t attainable with a daily
# ‘execution’ map, like a nested “execution_properties” in a webhook habits:
execution_json = jsonencode(
“kind” : “WebHook”,
“id” : “testWebHook”,
“href” : “https://hooks.slack.com:443/providers/T07UZFN0N/B01EW5NC42D/rfjhHCGIwzuzQFrpPZiuLkIX”,
“_internal_key” : “secretKey”,
“execution_properties” :
“template” :
“content material” : “<template_content_string>”
,
“_secure_token” : “secureToken”,
“invocation_timeout” : 7

)

Observe that the argument execution can nonetheless be used for less complicated definitions. Additionally, the vcd_rde_behavior_invocation information supply permits to make use of JSON arguments as nicely:

information “vcd_rde_behavior_invocation” “invoke”
rde_id = vcd_rde.rde.id
behavior_id = vcd_rde_interface_behavior.habits.id
invoke_on_refresh = true
arguments_json = jsonencode(
“template” :
“content material” : “hey world”
,
“_secure_token” : “secureToken”,
“invocation_timeout” : 7
