(for full API, see Red5 Pro Stream Manager API)

Verify Stream Manager Controller (GET)

GET call:

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/debug/cloudcontroller?accessToken=<rest.administratorToken>

should return: Terraform Cloud Service

Create a Scale Policy (post)

• Make sure to include a role section for each node type you want to include (origin, edge, relay, transcoder):

POST call:

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/configurations/scalepolicy?accessToken=<accessToken>

Data (make sure to select JSON as the body type):

   {
  "policy": {
          "name": "<policy-name>",
          "description": "<policy-description>>",
          "type": "<policy-type>",
          "version": "<policy-version>",
          "targets": {
              "region": [
                  {
                      "name": "default",
                      "target": [
        {
          "role": "<role>",
          "minLimit": "<min-node-count>",
          "maxLimit": "<max-node-count>",
          "scaleAdjustment": "<node-scale-adjustment>"
        }
      ]
    }
    }}

Create a Launch Policy (post)

For ease of administration, we recommend naming the policy something easily identifiable and descriptive, such as <imagename>-<nodetypes> (e.g., red5pro620-origin-edge). See this link for a list of valid Digital Ocean droplet types. We recommend the compute-optimized (c-2, c-4, etc) type for running Red5 Pro.

POST call:

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/configurations/launchconfig?accessToken=<accessToken>

Data (make sure to select JSON as the body type):

   {
    "launchconfig": {
      "name": "<configuration-name>",
      "description": "<configuration-descrption>",
      "image": "node-red5pro6.4.0",
      "version": "0.0.3",

    "targets": {
        "target": [
      {
        "role": "<role>",
        "instanceType": "<instance-type>",
        "connectionCapacity": "<instance-capacity>"
      }
      ]
      },

      "properties": {
        "property": [
          {
            "name": "<property-name>",
            "value": "<property-value>"
          }
        ]
      },
      "metadata": {
        "meta": [
          {
            "key": "<meta-name>",
            "value": "<meta-value>"
          }
        ]
      }
    }}

Create a New Node Group (POST)

Using a tool like Postman, create a new node group via the API.

POST call:

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/nodegroup?accessToken=<rest.administratorToken>

Data (make sure to select JSON as the body type):

{
 "regions": [
   "<do-region, eg: nyc1>"
 ],
  "launchConfig": "default-v2",
  "scalePolicy": "default-v2"
}

Note the cluster “name” that is returned by the above call. It will be used to create a new Origin server.

Launch New Origin (POST)

After you create a node group, create the origin server. Creating an origin server will also generate at least one edge, per scaling policy min limit.

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/nodegroup/<cluster-name>/node/origin?accessToken=<rest.administratorToken from red5-web.properties file>

Set Alarm Threshold (POST)

By default, the alarm threshold (the capacity percentage at which the cluster will scale up any given node type) is set to 60%. To modify this, POST the following:

FOR EDGE:

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/alarm/scaleout/default?type=edge&threshold=<threshold>&accessToken=<rest.administratorToken>

FOR ORIGIN:

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/alarm/scaleout/default?type=origin&threshold=<threshold>&accessToken=<rest.administratorToken>

FOR RELAY:

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/alarm/scaleout/default?type=relay&threshold=<threshold>&accessToken=<rest.administratorToken>

FOR TRANSCODER:

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/alarm/scaleout/default?type=transcoder&threshold=<threshold>&accessToken=<rest.administratorToken>

List Groups (GET)

https://<streammanager_URL>/streammanager/api/4.0/admin/nodegroup?accessToken=<rest.administratorToken>
