API Stability Short-Term

The restartArchiving() GraphQL mutation may be used to mark all segment files as unarchived.

Syntax

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

graphql
restartArchiving(
      repositoryName: string!, 
      archivalKind: ArchivalKind
   ): BooleanResultType!

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

Raw
graphql
mutation {
  restartArchiving(
      repositoryName: "humio",
      archivalKind: RepoOnly
     )
  { result }
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "mutation {
  restartArchiving(
      repositoryName: \"humio\",
      archivalKind: RepoOnly
     )
  { result }
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "mutation {
  restartArchiving(
      repositoryName: \"humio\",
      archivalKind: RepoOnly
     )
  { result }
}"
}
EOF
Windows Cmd and curl
