API Stability Long-Term

The updateView() GraphQL mutation is used to update a view in LogScale.

For more information on views, see the Creating a Repository or View documentation page. You may also want to look at the Manage Repositories and Views and Views pages for related information.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the updateView mutation field:

graphql
updateView(
     viewName: string!,
     connections: [ViewConnectionInput]!
   ): View!

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

Raw
graphql
mutation {
  updateView( 
    viewName: "Tester",
    connections: [ { repositoryName: "humio", filter: "" },
                   { repositoryName: "Testeroo", filter: "" } ] )
  { connections { repository { name } } }
}
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 {
  updateView( 
    viewName: \"Tester\",
    connections: [ { repositoryName: \"humio\", filter: \"\" },
                   { repositoryName: \"Testeroo\", filter: \"\" } ] )
  { connections { repository { name } } }
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \

    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "mutation {
  updateView( 
    viewName: \"Tester\",
    connections: [ { repositoryName: \"humio\", filter: \"\" },
                   { repositoryName: \"Testeroo\", filter: \"\" } ] )
  { connections { repository { name } } }
}"
}
EOF
Windows Cmd and curl
