Prerequisites to Onboard a REST API Context Table

Before you can onboard a REST API context table in the Context Management service, you must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • At least one REST API Context Cloud Collector is configured and running in the New-Scale Cloud Collectors service. If you need to create a new REST API Context Cloud Collector, follow the steps in the Configure the REST API Context Cloud Collector in the Get Started with Collector Onboarding Guide.

  • View the schema of data being extracted from the API response in the collector. You will need this information to properly configure the attribute mapping when you create the REST API context table. You can access the extracted data in the cloud collector as follows:

    1. Open the Cloud Collectors service and navigate to the specific REST API Context collector whose data you want to onboard to a context table.

    2. Click on the collector row to open the details panel on the right.

    3. At the top of the panel, select Edit to open the collector Configuration panel.

    4. Scroll to the bottom of the Configuration panel and click Test Connection. A Testing Results panel opens on the left.

    5. Expand the Extracted Data field. This expanded field shows the schema of the data being extracted from the API response. If necessary, you can click View More to see the entire schema. You might want to copy and paste it to a JSON viewer for structural clarity.

    6. Click Hide Details to close the Testing Results panel.
