In this recipe, we have a closer look at the Orchestrator Control Center.
We need access to the Orchestrator Control Center.
Add the Orchestrator Control Center to the REST plugin as shown in the recipe Working with REST in Chapter 9, Essential Plugins .
The recipe has been broken up into several sections, just work through them.
We will be having a look at the possibilities of the Control Center API:
Open a browser to the URL and authenticate with your Control Center account:
https://[Orchestrator]:8283/vco-controlcenter/docs/
You now are connected to the swagger UI, which helps you explore the Control Center API.
Expand server-controller and check out
GET /api/server/status
andPOST /api/server/status/start
. We used these functions in recipe Working with REST in Chapter 9, Essential Plugins.
