Service Resource
A service resource represents a service inside MaxScale. A service is a collection of network listeners, filters, a router and a set of backend servers.
Resource Operations
The :name in all of the URIs must be the name of a service in MaxScale.

Create a service
POST /v1/services
Create a new service by defining the resource. The posted object must define at least the following fields.
data.id-
Name of the service
-
data.type -
Type of the object, must be
services -
data.attributes.router -
The router module to use
-
data.attributes.parameters.user -
The
userto use -
data.attributes.parameters.password - The
passwordto use
The data.attributes.parameters object is used to define router and service
parameters. All configuration parameters that can be defined in the
configuration file can also be added to the parameters object. The exceptions to
this are the type, router, servers and filters parameters which must not
be defined.
As with other REST API resources, the data.relationships field defines the
relationships of the service to other resources. Services can have two types of
relationships: servers and filters relationships.
If the request body defines a valid relationships object, the service is
linked to those resources. For servers, this is equivalent to adding the list of
server names into the
servers parameter. For
filters, this is equivalent to adding the filters in the
data.relationships.filters.data array to the
filters parameter in the
order they appear. For other services, this is equivalent to adding the list of
server names into the
targets parameter.
The following example defines a new service with both a server and a filter relationship.
{ "data": { "id": "my-service", "type": "services", "attributes": { "router": "readwritesplit", "parameters": { "user": "maxuser", "password": "maxpwd" } }, "relationships": { "filters": { "data": [ { "id": "QLA", "type": "filters" } ] }, "servers": { "data": [ { "id": "server1", "type": "servers" } ] } } } }
Response
Service is created:
Status: 204 No Content
Destroy a service
DELETE /v1/services/:name
A service can only be destroyed if the service uses no servers or filters and
all the listeners pointing to the service have been destroyed. This means that
the data.relationships must be an empty object and data.attributes.listeners
must be an empty array in order for the service to qualify for destruction.
If there are open client connections that use the service when it is destroyed, they are allowed to gracefully close before the service is destroyed. This means that the destruction of a service can be acknowledged via the REST API before the destruction process has fully completed.
To find out whether a service is still in use after it has been destroyed, the
sessions resource should be used. If a session for
the service is still open, it has not yet been destroyed.
This endpoint also supports the force=yes parameter that will unconditionally
delete the service by first unlinking it from all servers and filters that it
uses.
Response
Service is destroyed:
Status: 204 No Content
Update a service
PATCH /v1/services/:name
The request body must be a JSON object which represents a set of new definitions for the service.
All standard service parameters can be modified. Refer to the service documentation on the details of these parameters.
In addition to the standard service parameters, router parameters can be updated at runtime if the router module supports it. Refer to the individual router documentation for more details on whether the router supports it and which parameters can be updated at runtime.
The following example modifies a service by changing the user parameter to admin.
{ "data": { "attributes": { "parameters": { "user": "admin" } } } }
Response
Service is modified:
Status: 204 No Content
Update service relationships
PATCH /v1/services/:name/relationships/:type
The :type in the URI must be either servers, services or filters, depending on which relationship is being modified.
The request body must be a JSON object that defines only the data field. The value of the data field must be an array of relationship objects that define the id and type fields of the relationship. This object will replace the existing relationships of this type for the service.
Note: The order of the values in the filters relationship will define the
order the filters are set up in. The order in which the filters appear in the
array will be the order in which the filters are applied to each query. Refer
to the filters parameter
for more details.
The following is an example request and request body that defines a single
server relationship for a service that is equivalent to a servers=my-server
parameter.
PATCH /v1/services/my-rw-service/relationships/servers
{
data: [
{ "id": "my-server", "type": "servers" }
]
}
All relationships for a service can be deleted by sending an empty array as the data field value. The following example removes all servers from a service.
PATCH /v1/services/my-rw-service/relationships/servers
{
data: []
}
Response
Service relationships modified:
Status: 204 No Content
Invalid JSON body:
Status: 403 Forbidden
Stop a service
PUT /v1/services/:name/stop
Stops a started service.
Response
Service is stopped:
Status: 204 No Content
Start a service
PUT /v1/services/:name/start
Starts a stopped service.
Response
Service is started:
Status: 204 No Content
Reload users of a service
POST /v1/services/:name/reload
Reloads the list of database users used for authentication.
Response
Users are reloaded:
