createRemoteClusterConnection()

The createRemoteClusterConnection() GraphQL mutation field is used to create a cluster connection to a remote view. The MultiClusterSearch needs to be enabled to use it. This is a preview and subject to change.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the createRemoteClusterConnection() mutation field:

graphql
createRemoteClusterConnection(
       input: CreateRemoteClusterConnectionInput!
    ): RemoteClusterConnection!

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

Raw
graphql
mutation {
  createRemoteClusterConnection(input:
       { multiClusterViewName: "my-cluster-view",
        publicUrl: "https://cluster.company.com",
        token: "1234abc"
      } )
  { id }
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \

{"query" : "mutation {
  createRemoteClusterConnection(input:
       { multiClusterViewName: \"my-cluster-view\",
        publicUrl: \"https://cluster.company.com\",
        token: \"1234abc\"
      } )
  { id }

}
