688639 - inventory's system_update requires unknown id's

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations: Projects, task)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

The system_status and system_rack parameters to this call are ID's, but the API gives no way to CRUD those tables, so the IDs are inaccessible.  It'd probably be easiest to change the API to take a string there, but it would also work to give access to those tables through a separate part of the API - then clients can query and create rows in the system_racks and system_statuses tables if necessary, before updating the system row.

I added functionality to the api to allow for system_status to accept a string.

I cannot add the same functionality for system_rack however since there are duplicates.

I also added to the api a /systemrack/ and /systemstatus/ option for reading.

I'll get it added to the documentation.
