VBR can't get Network inventory

[Kevinl]

Hey team,
Why I cant get any network object info when using the following request body to make a request to VBR API
And I didn't notice any errors complained at the backend.
Test multiple times without any result but I changed `value` to Host it take effect, much appreciated for any help.

POST https://localhost:9419//api/v1/inventory/Hostname

Code: Select all

{
    "filter": {
        "type": "GroupExpression",
        "operation": "or",
        "items": [
            {
                "type": "PredicateExpression",
                "operation": "in",
                "property": "type",
                "value": "Network"
            },
        ]
    },
    "sorting": {
        "property": "name",
        "direction": "descending"
    }
}

Best Regards

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the Veeam R&D forums!

The Network type can be filtered using hierarchyType in the body of the API call you referenced.

Our documentation on this API call will provide further details.

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much, it works now.
Is it meaning hierarchyType is a required parameter in Inventory request?

Kevin

Glad to hear itI!

The hierarchyType is not required but you need to specify it to access different types, like Network. If it's not specified, the first type in the list below is chosen. For VMware vSphere, that's HostsAndClusters and for VMware Cloud Director, that's VAppsAndVms.
