API Reference


API Reference | Version 46

Rundeck provides a Web API for use with your applications.

API Version Number

CurrentMinimumDeprecation
461417
Current
The current version number.
Minimum
Minimum supported version.
Deprecation
Future minimum version.

For tips on getting started with the API, check out these API Basics . For information on historical version changes please see API Version History. Please note of any incubating endpoints that may be subject to change.

Check out our Beta OpenAPI Spec/Swagger docs too!

Usage

For API endpoints described in this document, the minimum API version required for their use is indicated by the URL used, e.g.:

/api/14/system/info
/api/14/projects

This means you must use at least the API version indicated to access the endpoint, unless otherwise noted. Some features or functionality for the endpoint may only be supported in later versions.

The API Version Number is required to be included in all API calls within the URL.

If the version number is not included or if the requested version number is unsupported, then the API call will fail. The error response will include the code "api-version-unsupported" and have HTTP status code of 400 Bad Request:

Content-Type: application/json:

{
  "error": true,
  "apiversion": 14,
  "errorCode": "api.error.api-version.unsupported",
  "message": "Unsupported API Version \"1\". API Request: /api/1/project/test/resources. Reason: Minimum supported version: 14"
}

View the Index listing API paths.

URLs

The Rundeck server has a "Base URL", where you access the server. Your Rundeck Server URL may look like: http://myserver:4440.

The root URL path for all calls to the API in this version is:

$RUNDECK_SERVER_URL/api/46

JSON API

The API uses JSON for all API-level information. Some import/export features support YAML, XML, or text/plain formatted documents.

All endpoints support JSON format, with content type application/json.

JSON results can be retrieved by sending the HTTP "Accept" header with a application/json value. JSON request content is supported when the HTTP "Content-Type" header specifies application/json.

If an "Accept" header is not specified, then the response will be either the same format as the request content (for POST, or PUT requests), or JSON by default.

Some endpoints also support using a format query parameter to specify the expected output format.

XML support

Deprecation Warning

XML request and response support is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

(This does not apply to "Document Formats" such as Jobs or Node resources.)

Legacy XML API behavior is not enabled by default, it can be enabled with a configuration flag:

rundeck.feature.legacyXml.enabled=true

Please see previous 4.x versions of the API documentation for reference to XML response formats.

Authentication

Authentication can be done in two different ways, either with Token based authentication, or with a username and password.

Note that in either case, it is recommended that you enable SSL Support for the Rundeck server so that communication is encrypted at all times. For more information about using SSL, see Security - Configuring Rundeck for SSL.

Token Authentication

Token Authentication consists of including a string known as an "API Token" with every request to the Rundeck API.

To obtain an API Token, you must first log in to the Rundeck GUI using a user account. Click on your username in the header of the page, and you will be shown your User Profile page. From this page you can manage your API Tokensopen in new window.

Note: You must have appropriate authorization to generate a token. See API Token Authorization.

Depending on what authorization level you have, you can generate a token with a certain set of Authorization Roles and an Expiration Period.

Click "Generate API Token" to create a new one. The unique string that is shown is the API Token.

Alternately you can define tokens in static file, by setting the rundeck.tokens.file in framework.properties.

You must include one of the following with every HTTP request to the API:

  • HTTP Header X-Rundeck-Auth-Token set to the API Token string

OR

  • HTTP URL Parameter authtoken set to the API Token string

With that in place, you can make calls to the API as described in the rest of this document, and you don't need to maintain any cookies between requests.

Examples:

Using the URL parameter to request the project list:

GET /api/14/projects?authtoken=E4rNvVRV378knO9dp3d73O0cs1kd0kCd HTTP/1.1
...

Using the HTTP Header:

GET /api/14/projects HTTP/1.1
X-Rundeck-Auth-Token: E4rNvVRV378knO9dp3d73O0cs1kd0kCd
...

Password Authentication

If using Password Authentication, you must perform the authentication steps prior to accessing the API.

This means that you must submit authentication parameters (username, password) to the "Authentication URL" and retain a Session Cookie.

The Session Cookie must be sent with all calls to the API to maintain the authenticated connection.

To submit authentication, submit a POST request to the URL:

$RUNDECK_SERVER_URL/j_security_check

With these parameters:

  • j_username: rundeck username
  • j_password: password

If the response includes a redirect chain which includes or results in $RUNDECK_SERVER_URL/user/login or $RUNDECK_SERVER_URL/user/error, then the authentication request failed.

Otherwise, if the response is a redirect chain which results in 200 successful response, then the authentication was successful.

The response should set a cookie named JSESSIONID.

Tips

In v4.8+ the JSESSIONID cookie will change after the first request after authentication. You will have to update your client code to follow redirects for subsequent requests. For example, when using curl you would have to use -b and -c options to update the session cookie in your next request after authentication. Alternately, you could add the -L option to the initial login POST, which will follow the redirect after login and update the session cookie.

Error Responses

Errors in JSON format will be in the form:

{
    "error": true,
    "errorCode": "code",
    "message": "message",
    "apiversion": "X"
}

Error codes

Defined error codes that may be returned as <error code="...">

api-version-unsupported
The specified API version is not supported for the requested resource
unauthorized
The requested action is not authorized and/or the connection is not authenticated.

API Contents

Authentication Tokens

Authentication tokens can be managed via the API itself.

Note: as of Rundeck 3.3.8, Authentication tokens are stored in secure form and are no longer retrievable. Listing and getting tokens will show the token id, name and other metadata but not the token value itself. The token value is only available at creation time using the POST /api/V/tokens/[USER] endpoint.

Note: as of Rundeck 2.8, Authentication tokens are generated with a unique ID as well as a token string. Listing tokens will show the ID instead of the token string, and the ID should be used to manage the token instead of the token string itself. Until Rundeck 3.3.7, token strings can be retrieved with the /api/V/token/[ID] endpoint.

List Tokens

List all tokens or all tokens for a specific user.

Request:

GET /api/14/tokens
GET /api/14/tokens/[USER]

Get a token

Get a specified auth token metadata.

Note: API Version 19 and later uses the token ID instead of the token string.

Note: As of Rundeck 3.3.8, the actual token value is not available through this endpoint.

Request:

GET /api/14/token/[ID]

Response (API version: 19) (Rundeck 3.3.8 and later):

The token includes the creator of the token, as well as the user (the effective username) of the token. The id is the unique ID, and the name (since v37) is the name given at creation.

{
  "user": "user3",
  "id": "c13de457-c429-4476-9acd-e1c89e3c2928",
  "creator": "user3",
  "name": "CI Server Token",
  "expiration": "2017-03-24T21:18:55Z",
  "roles": [
    "USER_ACCOUNT"
  ],
  "expired": true
}

Response (API version: 19) (Rundeck 3.3.7 and earlier):

The token includes the creator of the token, as well as the user (the effective username) of the token. The id is the unique ID, and the token value is the token string.

{
  "user": "user3",
  "token": "VjkbX2zUAwnXjDIbRYFp824tF5X2N7W1",
  "id": "c13de457-c429-4476-9acd-e1c89e3c2928",

  "expiration": "2017-03-24T21:18:55Z",
  "roles": [
    "USER_ACCOUNT"
  ],
  "expired": true
}

Response (API version: 18 and earlier) (removed since Rundeck 3.3.8):

The id value returned is the token string.

{
  "user": "alice",
  "id": "DuV0UoDUDkoR38Evd786cdRsed6uSNdP"
}

Create a Token

Create a new token for a specific user. Specify custom roles and duration if authorized.

Request:

POST /api/14/tokens
POST /api/14/tokens/[USER]

The user specified must either be part of the URL, or be part of the request content.

Note: As of Rundeck 3.3.8, the actual token value is only available at creation time through the response of this endpoint. Be sure to store your tokens as they will not be available later.

For API v18 and earlier: by default the role api_token_group is set for the generated token, and the duration will be the maximum allowed token duration. If user is present in the URL, then the request content is ignored and can be empty.

For API v19 and later: A content body is expected, and roles must be specified, and duration is optional. If unset, duration will be the maximum allowed token duration.

If the roles value is the string * (asterisk), and the token is generated for oneself (i.e. the authenticated user), then the generated token will have all roles as the authenticated user.

For API v37 and later: You can provide a name parameter to name the created token.

{
  "user": "alice",
  "roles": [
    "sre",
    "dev"
  ],
  "duration": "120d",
  "name": "Example Token"
}

roles can be a comma-separated string:

{
  "user": "alice",
  "roles": "sre,dev",
  "duration": "120d",
  "name": "Example Token"
}

Response (API version: 19 and later):

  • name attribute added since V37
{
  "user": "alice",
  "token": "08e7rlGwwnqoX6lzewriXSabuqNMueTL",
  "id": "b6ea87e3-43e5-4210-bd51-b82f8e33d9a4",
  "creator": "admin",
  "name": "Example Token",
  "expiration": "2017-07-22T22:43:53Z",
  "roles": [
    "dev",
    "sre"
  ],
  "expired": false
}

Update multiple User Class assignments

Allows modifying multiple User Class assignments in one request.

This action can operate in one of three behaviors:

  1. If the request contains the allocations definition, those allocations will be set.
  2. If the request contains bulkRemove value true, and a set of usernames, then the specified usernames will have their user class assignments removed.
  3. If the request values bulkAssign and usernames are set, then all the specified usernames will be assigned to the User Class specified in bulkAssign.

If the request doesn't match one of these three modes, a 400 error will be returned with error code api.error.item.unsupported-format.

The response will contain the current user class assignments, if successful.

If an allocation error occurs, such as the allocation of the specified User Class is already full, then a User Class Allocation error will be returned with a 400 status code with error code api.error.entitlements.user-class.allocation.exceeded.

or
{"executionMode":"passive"}

Cluster Mode

Takeover Schedule in Cluster Mode

Tell a Rundeck server in cluster mode to claim all scheduled jobs from another cluster server.

This endpoint can take over the schedule of certain jobs based on the input:

  • specify a server uuid: take over all jobs from that server
  • specify server all value of true: take over all jobs regardless of server UUID

Additionally, you can specify a project name to take over only jobs matching the given project name, in combination with the server options.

Alternately, specify a job ID to takeover only a single Job's schedule.

Request

PUT /api/14/scheduler/takeover

Request JSON object:

  • optional server entry, with one of these required entries:
    • uuid server UUID to take over from
    • all value of true to take over from all servers

ACLs

Manage the system system ACL policy files stored in the database.

The files managed via the API do not include the files located on disk, however these policy files will be merged with any policy files in the normal filesystem locations (e.g. $RDECK_BASE/etc).

Tips

For Project-specific ACLs see Project ACLs.

For more information about ACL Policies see:

List System ACL Policies

Request:

GET /api/14/system/acl/

Response:

resources contains a list of entries for each policy

{
  "path": "",
  "type": "directory",
  "href": "http://server/api/14/system/acl/",
  "resources": [
    {
      "path": "name.aclpolicy",
      "type": "file",
      "name": "name.aclpolicy",
      "href": "http://server/api/14/system/acl/name.aclpolicy"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Get an ACL Policy

Retrieve the YAML text of the ACL Policy file. If YAML or text content is requested, the contents will be returned directly. Otherwise if JSON is requested, the YAML text will be wrapped within that format.

Request:

GET /api/14/system/acl/name.aclpolicy

Response:

Content-Type: application/yaml or Content-Type: text/plain:

description: "my policy"
context:
  application: rundeck
for:
  project:
    - allow: read
by:
  group: build

Content-Type: application/json:

{
  "contents": "description: \"my policy\"\ncontext:\n  application: rundeck\nfor:\n  project:\n    - allow: read\nby:\n  group: build"
}

Create an ACL Policy

Use POST to create a policy.

Request:

POST /api/14/system/acl/name.aclpolicy

If the Content-Type is application/yaml or text/plain, then the request body is the ACL policy contents directly.

Otherwise, you can use JSON in the same format as returned by Get an ACL Policy:

Content-Type: application/json

{
  "contents": "description: \"my policy\"\ncontext:\n  application: rundeck\nfor:\n  project:\n    - allow: read\nby:\n  group: build"
}

Response:

Successful

201 Created

The format the response is based on the Accept: header, the same format as returned by Get an ACL Policy.

Already Exists

409 Conflict

Validation Failure

400 Bad Request

If Validation fails, the response will be 400 Bad Request, and the body will contain a list of validation errors. Because each ACLPOLICY document can contain multiple Yaml documents, each will be listed as a separate policy.

Content-Type: application/json

{
  "valid": false,
  "policies": [
    {
      "policy": "file1.aclpolicy[1]",
      "errors": [

      ]
    }
  ]
}

Update an ACL Policy

Use PUT to update a policy.

Request:

PUT /api/14/system/acl/name.aclpolicy

You can use Yaml or JSON in the same request format as used by Create an ACL Policy.

Response:

Successful

200 OK

The same response format as used by Create an ACL Policy.

Not Found

404 Not Found

If the policy does not exist, then a 404 Not Found response is returned.

Jobs

Listing Jobs

List the jobs that exist for a project.

Request:

GET  /api/14/project/[PROJECT]/jobs

The following parameters can also be used to narrow down the result set.

  • idlist: specify a comma-separated list of Job IDs to include
  • groupPath: specify a group or partial group path to include all jobs within that group path. (Default value: "*", all groups). Set to the special value "-" to match the top level jobs only
  • jobFilter: specify a filter for the job Name. Matches any job name that contains this value.
  • jobExactFilter: specify an exact job name to match.
  • groupPathExact: specify an exact group path to match. Set to the special value "-" to match the top level jobs only
  • scheduledFilter: true/false specify whether to return only scheduled or only not scheduled jobs.
  • serverNodeUUIDFilter: Value: a UUID. In cluster mode, use to select scheduled jobs assigned to the server with given UUID.
  • max: limit the maximum amount of results to be received.
  • offset: use in conjunction with max to paginate the result set.
  • tags: specify a tag or comma separated list of tags to list Jobs that have matching tags. (e.g. tags=tag1,tag2)

Note: It is possible to disable result set pagination by setting the property rundeck.api.paginatejobs.enabled=false which is assumed to be true if not set.

Note: If neither groupPath nor groupPathExact are specified, then the default groupPath value of "*" will be used (matching jobs in all groups). groupPathExact cannot be combined with groupPath. You can set either one to "-" to match only the top-level jobs which are not within a group.

Response

[

  }
]

Since v17:

  • scheduled indicates whether the job has a schedule
  • scheduleEnabled indicates whether the job's schedule is enabled or not
  • enabled indicates whether executions are enabled or not

In Cluster mode, additional information about what server UUID is the schedule owner will be included:

  • serverNodeUUID UUID of the schedule owner server for this job
  • serverOwner boolean value whether the target server is the owner, true/false.

Upload a File for a Job Option

Job Options of type file require a file input. You can upload multiple files individually, or en-masse. Each uploaded file is assigned a unique "file key" identifier. You can then Run the Job using the "file key" as the option value.

Single File Upload Request:

POST /api/19/job/[ID]/input/file?optionName=[NAME]&fileName=[FILENAME]
POST /api/19/job/[ID]/input/file/[NAME]&fileName=[FILENAME]
Content-Type: octet/stream

<file-contents>

Query Parameters:

  • optionName: For a single file/option value, specify the option name either as a query parameter or as part of the URL path.
  • fileName: Specify the original file name (optional)

Headers: Content-Type: octet/stream

Body: File contents

Multiple File Upload Request:

POST /api/19/job/[ID]/input/file
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
...

For multiple files, use a Multi-part request. For each file, specify the field name as option.NAME where NAME is the option name. The filename is specified normally within the multi-part request.

Response:

{
  "total": $total,
  "options": {
    "$optionName": "$fileKey"
  }
}

Example

To upload a file for an option myfile and run a job with the file:

POST /api/19/job/[ID]/input/file/myfile
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Length: 10

test file

Response:

{
  "total": 1,
  "options": {
    "myfile": "bb704988-6467-4613-b961-13014f6a55cb"
  }
}

Now run the job using the file key value for the myfile option:

POST /api/19/job/[ID]/run
Content-Type: application/json

{"options":{"myfile":"bb704988-6467-4613-b961-13014f6a55cb"}}

Multiple file example using curl:

curl -X POST -H x-rundeck-auth-token:$RD_TOKEN \
    -H accept:application/json \
    -F option.csvfile=@data.csv \
    -F option.xmlfile=@data.xml \
    $RD_URL/job/47d71672-9aa0-49f3-96d0-39f02daf80b9/input/file

This uploads two files, one for option csvfile and with filename data.csv, and the other for option xmlfile and filename data.xml.

The result:

{
  "options": {
    "csvfile": "34ba3064-28c6-447e-aafb-b73db8ee9f6f",
    "xmlfile": "a71c4cc7-71f6-4b3c-b53d-2aa89882a4cf"

The following parameters can also be used to narrow down the result set.

  • statusFilter: execution status, one of "running", succeeded", "failed" or "aborted"
  • abortedbyFilter: Username who aborted an execution
  • userFilter: Username who started the execution
  • Date query parameters:
    • recentFilter: Use a simple text format to filter executions that completed within a period of time. The format is "XY" where X is an integer, and "Y" is one of:

      • s: second
      • n: minute
      • h: hour
      • d: day
      • w: week
      • m: month
      • y: year

      So a value of 2w would return executions that completed within the last two weeks.

    • olderFilter: (same format as recentFilter) return executions that completed before the specified relative period of time. E.g. a value of 30d returns executions older than 30 days.

    • begin: Specify exact date for earliest execution completion time

    • end: Specify exact date for latest execution completion time

  • adhoc: "true/false", if true, include only Adhoc executions, if false return only Job executions. By default any matching executions are returned, however if you use any of the Job filters below, then only Job executions will be returned.

The format for the end, and begin filters is either: a unix millisecond timestamp, or a W3C dateTime string in the format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ".

Parameters for querying for Executions for particular jobs:

  • jobIdListFilter: specify a Job ID to include, can be specified multiple times
  • excludeJobIdListFilter: specify a Job ID to exclude, can be specified multiple times
  • jobListFilter: specify a full Job group/name to include, can be specified multiple times
  • excludeJobListFilter: specify a full Job group/name to exclude, can be specified multiple times
  • groupPath: specify a group or partial group path to include all jobs within that group path. Set to the special value "-" to match the top level jobs only.
  • groupPathExact: specify an exact group path to match. Set to the special value "-" to match the top level jobs only.
  • excludeGroupPath: specify a group or partial group path to exclude all jobs within that group path. Set to the special value "-" to match the top level jobs only.
  • excludeGroupPathExact: specify an exact group path to exclude. Set to the special value "-" to match the top level jobs only.
  • jobFilter: specify a filter for the job Name. Include any job name that matches this value.
  • excludeJobFilter: specify a filter for the job Name. Exclude any job name that matches this value.
  • jobExactFilter: specify an exact job name to match.
  • excludeJobExactFilter: specify an exact job name to exclude.
  • executionTypeFilter: specify the execution type, one of: scheduled (schedule trigger), user (user trigger), user-scheduled (user scheduled trigger)(since v20)

The format for the jobListFilter and excludeJobListFilter is the job's group and name separated by a '/' character, such as: "group1/job name", or "my job" if there is no group.

Paging parameters:

  • max: maximum number of results to include in response. (default: 20)
  • offset: offset for first result to include. (default: 0)

Response

See Listing Running Executions.

Execution Query Metrics

Obtain metrics over the result set of an execution query. The query can be issued over all executions on the system, or over the executions of a single project depending on the variant used.

Request:

GET /api/29/executions/metrics
GET /api/29/project/[PROJECT]/executions/metrics

To narrow down the result set over which the metrics will be calculated, you can use the same parameters as Execution Query.

Paging parameters max and offset will have no effect on the result.

Response

An object with duration entry containing duration stats, and a total entry with total executions.

{
    "duration": {
        "average": "0s",
        "min": "0s",
        "max": "39s"
    },
    "total": 1325,
}

Execution State

Get detail about the node and step state of an execution by ID. The execution can be currently running or completed.

Request:

GET /api/14/execution/[ID]/state

Specify expected output format with the Accept: HTTP header. Supported formats:

  • application/json

The content of the response contains state information for different parts of the workflow:

  • overall state
  • per-node overall state
  • per-step node state

A workflow can have a step which consists of a sub-workflow, so each particular step has a "Step Context Identifier" which defines its location in the workflow(s), and looks something like "1/5/2". Each number identifies the step number (starting at 1) at a workflow level. If there is a "/" in the context identifier, it means there are sub-workflow step numbers, and each preceding number corresponds to a step which has a sub-workflow.

To identify the state of a particular node at a particular step, both a Node name, and a Step Context Identifier are necessary.

In the result set returned by this API call, state information is organized primarily by Step and is structured in the same way as the workflow. This means that sub-workflows will have nested state structures for their steps.

The state information for a Node will not contain the full set of details for the Step and Node, since this information is present in the workflow structure which contains the step state.

State Result Content

The result set contains this top-level structure:

  • general overall state information
    • startTime execution start time (see Timestamp format below)
    • endTime execution end time if complete
    • updateTime last update time
    • executionState overall execution state
  • allNodes contains a Node Name List (see below) of nodes known to be targeted in some workflow
  • nodes contains an Overall Node State List of per-node step states
  • serverNode name of the server node
  • executionId current execution ID
  • completed true/false whether the execution is completed
  • A Workflow Section (see below)

Workflow Section

Each Workflow Section within the result set will contain these structures

  • stepCount Number of steps in the workflow
  • targetNodes contains a Node Name List identifying the target nodes of the current workflow
  • steps contains a Step State List (see below) of information and state for each step

Node Name List

Consists of a sequence of node name entries, identifying each entry by a name.

In JSON, an array of node names.

Overall Node State List

Consists of a sequence of entries for each Node. Each entry contains

  • name node name
  • steps list of simple state indicator for steps executed by this node

State Indicators:

  • stepctx Step Context Identifier
  • executionState execution state for this step and node

In JSON: an object where each key is a node name, and the value is an array of State indicators. A state indicator is an object with two keys, stepctx and executionState

{
    "abc": [
      {
        "executionState": "SUCCEEDED",
        "stepctx": "1"
      },
      {
        "executionState": "SUCCEEDED",
        "stepctx": "2/1"
      }
    ]
}

Step State List

A list of Step State information. Each step is identified by its number in the workflow (starting at 1) and its step context

  • id the step number (JSON)
  • stepctx the step context identifier in the workflow
  • general overall state information for the step
    • startTime execution start time
    • endTime execution end time if complete
    • updateTime last update time
    • executionState overall execution state
  • nodeStep true/false. true if this step directly targets each node from the targetNodes list. If true, this means the step will contain a nodeStates section
  • nodeStates a Node Step State Detail List (see below) for the target nodes if this is a node step.
  • hasSubworkflow true/false. true if this step has a sub-workflow and a workflow entry
  • workflow this section contains a Workflow Section

Node Step State Detail List

A sequence of state details for a set of Nodes for the containing step. Each entry will contain:

  • name the node name
  • state information for the Node
    • startTime execution start time
    • endTime execution end time if complete
    • updateTime last update time
    • executionState overall execution state

In JSON: an object with node names as keys. Values are objects containing the state information entries.

Timestamp format:

The timestamp format is ISO8601: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'

Execution states:

  • WAITING - Waiting to start running
  • RUNNING - Currently running
  • RUNNING_HANDLER - Running error handler*
  • SUCCEEDED - Finished running successfully
  • FAILED - Finished with a failure
  • ABORTED - Execution was aborted
  • NODE_PARTIAL_SUCCEEDED - Partial success for some nodes*
  • NODE_MIXED - Mixed states among nodes*
  • NOT_STARTED - After waiting the execution did not start*

* these states only apply to steps/nodes and do not apply to the overall execution or workflow.

Execution Output

Get the output for an execution by ID. The execution can be currently running or may have already completed. Output can be filtered down to a specific node or workflow step.

Request:

GET /api/14/execution/[ID]/output
GET /api/14/execution/[ID]/output/node/[NODE]
GET /api/14/execution/[ID]/output/node/[NODE]/step/[STEPCTX]
GET /api/14/execution/[ID]/output/step/[STEPCTX]

The log output for each execution is stored in a file on the Rundeck server, and this API endpoint allows you to retrieve some or all of the output, in several possible formats: json, and plain text. When retrieving the plain text output, some metadata about the log is included in HTTP Headers. JSON output format includes metadata about each output log line, as well as metadata about the state of the execution and log file, and your current index location in the file.

Output can be selected by Node or Step Context or both.

Several parameters can be used to retrieve only part of the output log data. You can use these parameters to more efficiently retrieve the log content over time while an execution is running.

The log file used to store the execution output is a formatted text file which also contains metadata about each line of log output emitted during an execution. Several data values in this API endpoint refer to "bytes", but these do not reflect the size of the final log data; they are only relative to the formatted log file itself. You can treat these byte values as opaque locations in the log file, but you should not try to correlate them to the actual textual log lines.

Optional Parameters:

  • offset: byte offset to read from in the file. 0 indicates the beginning.
  • lastlines: number of lines to retrieve from the end of the available output. If specified it will override the offset value and return only the specified number of lines at the end of the log.
  • lastmod: epoch datestamp in milliseconds, return results only if modification changed since the specified date OR if more data is available at the given offset
  • maxlines: maximum number of lines to retrieve forward from the specified offset.
  • compacted: true/false, (API v21+), if true, results will be in compacted form (see below).

Response:

The output content in the requested format, see Output Content.

Tailing Output

To "tail" the output from a running execution, you will need to make a series of requests to this API endpoint, and update the offset value that you send to reflect the returned dataoffset value that you receive. This gives you a consistent pointer into the output log file.

When starting these requests, there are two mechanisms you can use:

  1. Start at the beginning, specifying either a lastmod or a offset of 0
  2. Start at the end, by using lastlines to receive the last available set of log lines.

After your first request you will have the dataoffset and lastmod response values you can use to continue making requests for subsequent log output. You can choose several ways to do this:

  1. Use the offset and lastmod parameters to indicate modification time and receive as much output as is available
  2. Use the offset and maxlines parameter to specify a maximum number of log entries
  3. Use only the offset parameter and receive as much output as is available.

After each request, you will update your offset value to reflect the dataoffset in the response.

All log output has been read when the iscompleted value is "true".

Below is some example pseudo-code for using this API endpoint to follow the output of a running execution "live":

  • set offset to 0
  • set lastmod to 0
  • Repeat until iscompleted response value is "true":
    • perform request sending offset and lastmod parameters
    • print any log entries, update progress bar, etc.
    • Record the resulting dataoffset and lastmod response values for the next request
    • if unmodified is "true", sleep for 5 seconds
    • otherwise sleep for 2 seconds

Authorization:

This endpoint requires that the user have 'read' access to the Job or to Adhoc executions to retrieve the output content.

Output Format Using the URL

Specifying an output format can occur in several ways. The simplest ways are to include the format in the URL, either by including a format URL parameter, or an extension on the request URL.

When using a URL format, use one of these values for the format:

  • json
  • text

To use a URL parameter, add a ?format= parameter to your request.

E.g.:

GET /api/14/execution/3/output?format=json

To use a URL extension, add a ".[format]" to the end of the URL, but prior to any URL parameters.

E.g.:

GET /api/14/execution/3/output.json?offset=120

Output Format using Accept Header

You can also specify the format using Content Negotiation techniques by including an Accept header in your request, and specifying a valid MIME-type to represent one of the formats:

  • For JSON, application/json or text/json
  • For plain text, text/plain

E.g.:

GET /api/14/execution/3/output
Accept: */json

Output Content

The result will contain a set of data values reflecting the execution's status, as well as the status and read location in the output file.

Entries:

  • id: ID of the execution
  • message: optional text message indicating why no entries were returned
  • error: optional text message indicating an error case
  • unmodified: true/false, (optional) "true" will be returned if the lastmod parameter was used and the file had not changed
  • empty: true/false, (optional) "true" will be returned if the log file does not exist or is empty, which may occur if the log data is requested before any output has been stored.
  • offset: Byte offset to read for the next set of data
  • completed: true/false, "true" if the current log entries or request parameters include all of the available data
  • execCompleted: true/false, "true" if the execution has completed.
  • hasFailedNodes: true/false, "true" if the execution has recorded a list of failed nodes
  • execState: execution state, one of "running","succeeded","failed","aborted"
  • lastModified: (long integer), millisecond timestamp of the last modification of the log file
  • execDuration: (long integer), millisecond duration of the execution
  • percentLoaded: (float), (optional) percentage of the output which has been loaded by the parameters to this request
  • totalSize: (integer), total bytes available in the output file
  • filter - if a node or step filter was used
    • nodename - value of the node name filter
    • stepctx - value of the step context filter
  • compacted: true if compacted form was requested and is used in the response (API v21+)
  • compactedAttr: name of JSON log entry key used by default for fully compacted entries (API v21+)

Each log entry will be included in a section called entries.

  • entries will contain an array of Objects, each containing the following format

Content of each Log Entry:

  • time: Timestamp in format: "HH:MM:SS"
  • absolute_time: Timestamp in format: "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"
  • level: Log level, one of: ERROR,WARN,NORMAL,VERBOSE,DEBUG,OTHER
  • log: The log message
  • user: User name
  • command: Workflow command context string
  • node: Node name
  • stepctx: The step context such as 1 or 1/2/3
  • metadata: Map of extra metadata for the entry (API v43+)
Log Entries in Compacted Form (API v21+)

As of API v21, you can specify compacted=true in the URL parameters, which will send the Output Content in "compacted" form. This will be indicated by the compacted=true value in the result data.

In this mode, Log Entries are compacted by only including the changed values from the previous Log Entry in the list. The first Log Entry in the results will always have complete information. Subsequent entries may include only changed values.

In JSON format, if the compactedAttr value is log in the response data, and only the log value changed relative to a previous Log Entry, the Log Entry may consist only of the log message string. That is, the array entry will be a string, not a hash.

When no values changed from the previous Log Entry, the Log Entry will be an empty hash.

When an entry value is not present in the subsequent Log Entry, but was present in the previous one, in JSON this will be represented with a null value.

Example (JSON):

In this example, four log entries are included. The first includes all Log Entry fields. The second is only a String, indicating only log value changed. The third is an empty hash, indicating the previous Log Entry was repeated identically. The fourth specifies a new value for stepctx and log and level to use. The fifth specifies a node and stepctx of null: indicating the node and stepctx values should be removed for this Log Entry.

Text Format Content

For the plain text format, the content of the response will simply be the log output lines at the chosen offset location.

Included in the response will be some HTTP headers that provide the metadata about the output location. Some headers may not be present, depending on the state of the response. See the Output Content section for descriptions of the content and availability of the values:

  • X-Rundeck-ExecOutput-Error: The error field
  • X-Rundeck-ExecOutput-Message: The message field

Request:

GET /api/14/execution/[ID]/output/state
GET /api/14/execution/[ID]/output/state?stateOnly=true

This API endpoint provides the sequential log of state changes for steps and nodes, optionally interleaved with the actual log output.

Response:

The output format is the same as Execution Output, with this change:

  • in the entries section, each entry will have a type value indicating the entry type
    • log a normal log entry
    • stepbegin beginning of the step indicated by the stepctx
    • stepend finishing of the step
    • nodebegin beginning of execution of a node for the given step
    • nodeend finishing of execution of a node for the given step
  • metadata about the entry may be included in the entry

Aborting Executions

Abort a running execution by ID.

Request:

GET /api/14/execution/[ID]/abort

Optional Parameters:

  • asUser : specifies a username identifying the user who aborted the execution. Requires runAs permission.
  • forceIncomplete: if true, forces a running execution to be marked as "incomplete".

Response:

{
  "abort": {
    "status": "[abort-state]",
    "reason": "[reason]"
  },
  "execution": {
    "id": "[id]",
    "status": "[execution status]",
    "href": "[API href]",
  }
}

The [abort-state] will be one of: "pending", "failed", or "aborted".

If the [abort-state] is "failed", then [reason] will be a textual description of the reason.

Request:

GET /api/40/execution/[ID]/result/dataAvailable

Response:

  • 404 Not found - no data can be retrieved for the Execution

Successful response:

{
  "loadable": true,
  "message": "OK"
}

Get Execution Result Data [Enterprise]

Available in PagerDuty Process Automation Commercial products.

Retrieve the Result Data created by a Job using the Result Data featureopen in new window in JSON format.

Tips

In a Rundeck Cluster, Result Data may not be locally available and must be retrieved by the server asynchronously before it can be returned.

You can handle this situation in two ways: either use the wait=true URL parameter, to indicate that the API request should block until the data is retrieved (waiting up to 10 seconds), or if the response has HTTP status 202 it means that the asynchronous request was started but has not completed yet and you can retry the same API request shortly.

Request:

GET /api/40/execution/[ID]/result/data

Optional Query Parameters:

  • wait: true/false - if true and the data is not immediately available, the response will wait until the data is retrieved, or a timeout occurs. Otherwise the response may return 202 status if data must be retrieved first.

Responses:

  • 404 Not Found - data was not available
  • 202 Accepted - request was accepted but not fulfilled. This indicates the data will be retrieved asynchronously before it can be made available. Retry the request later to retrieve the data. See also: the wait parameter.

Sucessful response:

200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

Key Storage

Upload and manage public and private key files and passwords. For more information see the Administration - Key Storage document.

Keys are stored via Rundeck's Storage facility. This is a path-based interface to manage files. The underlying storage may be on disk or in a database.

The Storage facility manages "resources", which may be files or directories. File resources can have metadata associated with them (such as MIME content type).

Note: Private Keys and Passwords can be uploaded but not retrieved directly with this API. They can only be used internally by Rundeck.

URL:

/api/14/storage/keys/[PATH]/[FILE]

Upload Keys

Specify the type of key via the Content-type header:

  • application/octet-stream specifies a private key
  • application/pgp-keys specifies a public key
  • application/x-rundeck-data-password specifies a password

Use POST to create a new file, or PUT to modify an existing file.

POST /api/14/storage/keys/[PATH]/[FILE]
Content-Type: [...]
PUT /api/14/storage/keys/[PATH]/[FILE]
Content-Type: [...]

List keys

Lists resources at the specified PATH.

Each resource has a type of file or directory.

Optional parameters:

  • executionIds a list (comma-separated) of execution IDs. If this is specified then the archive will contain only executions that are specified, and will not contain Jobs, ACLs, or project configuration/readme files.
    • optionally use POST method with with application/x-www-form-urlencoded content for large lists of execution IDs
    • optionally, specify executionIds multiple times, with a single ID per entry.

In APIv19 or later:

By default, exportALL=true. So, in order to not export empty data, you need to include one of the following flags. For example:

GET /api/14/project/[PROJECT]/export?exportAll=false
  • exportAll true/false, include all project contents (default: true)
  • exportJobs true/false, include executions

Parameters:

  • asyncImport (optional, boolean, true/false, default: false) ... If true, an asynchronous project import process will be started, more info here.
  • jobUuidOption (optional, string, preserve/remove) ... Option declaring how duplicate Job UUIDs should be handled. If preserve (default) then imported job UUIDs will not be modified, and may conflict with jobs in other projects. If remove then all job UUIDs will be removed before importing.
  • importExecutions (optional, boolean, true/false) ... If true, import all executions and logs from the archive (default). If false, do not import executions or logs.
  • importConfig (optional,boolean,true/false) ... If true, import the project configuration from the archive. If false, do not import the project configuration (default).
  • importACL (optional,boolean,true/false) ... If true, import all of the ACL Policies from the archive. If false, do not import the ACL Policies (default).
  • importScm (optional,boolean,true/false) ... If true, import SCM configuration from the archive. If false, do not import the SCM configuration (default).

In APIv34 or later:

  • importWebhooks true/false, If true, import the webhooks in the archive. If false, do not import webhooks (default).
  • whkRegenAuthTokens true/false, If true, always regenerate the auth tokens associated with the webhook. If false, the webhook auth token in the archive will be imported. If no auth token info was included with the webhook, it will be generated (default).

In APIv38 or later:

  • importNodesSources true/false. If true, import Node Resources Source defined on project properties. If false, do not import the nodes sources.

Component Options

  • importComponents.NAME=true enable a component for import
  • importOpts.NAME.KEY=VALUE set a component option

Project archives may contain "components" which can be imported, beyond the base set of contents. This includes some data used by Process Automation (Rundeck Enterprise) features.

Components:

  • Project Tours (Enterprise). Name: tours-manager
  • Project Schedules (Enterprise). Name: Schedule Definitions
  • Project Calendars (Enterprise). Name: calendars
  • Node Wizard Nodes (Enterprise): Name: node-wizard
  • Webhooks, name: webhooks

For example, to enable Webhook import, you could use importWebhooks and whkRegenAuthTokens params, but those are simply shortcuts for the following parameters:

  • importComponents.webhooks=true&importOpts.webhooks.regenAuthTokens=true

Import schedules definitions:

  • importComponents.Schedule%20Definitions=true

Expected Request Content:

Content-Type: application/zip

Response:

Note: the import status indicates "failed" if any Jobs had failures, otherwise it indicates "successful" even if other files in the archive were not imported.

Response will indicate whether the imported contents had any errors:

All imported jobs and files were successful:

{"import_status":"successful"}

Some imported files failed:

{
    "import_status":"failed",
    "errors": [
        "Job ABC could not be validated: ...",
        "Job XYZ could not be validated: ..."
    ],
    "execution_errors": [
        "Execution 123 could not be imported: ...",
        "Execution 456 could not be imported: ..."
    ],
    "acl_errors": [
        "file.aclpolicy could not be validated: ...",
        "file2.aclpolicy could not be validated: ..."
    ],
    "other_errors": [
        "webhooks could not be validated: ..."
    ]
}
  • other_errors included since API v35

Asynchronous Import

If the import is called with the parameter asyncImport=true, a different process will be started, in which we will obtain a response similar to this:

{"import_status":"successful","successful":true}

The response does not mean that the process has ended or that the import was carried out successfully, means that an asynchronous process has started.

The status of the asynchronous process could be requested through another query to the API:

Asynchronous Import Status

Users can check the status of an asynchronous project import process through the endpoint:

  • /api/$apiVersion/project/$project/import/status

By doing so, users can receive a response similar to this:

{ "lastUpdate": "<update>", "lastUpdated": "<timestamp>", "errors": "<errors>" }

The endpoint can be requested an infinite number of times from the start of the process until it ends.

    • max: indicate the maximum number of events to return. The default maximum to return is 20.
    • offset: indicate the 0-indexed offset for the first event to return.

The format for the end, and begin filters is either: a unix millisecond timestamp, or a W3C dateTime string in the format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ".

The format for the jobListFilter and excludeJobListFilter is the job's group and name separated by a '/' character, such as: "group1/job name", or "my job" if there is no group.

Response:

Paging information:

total is the total number of events matching the query parameters. count is the number of events included in the results. max is the paging size as specified in the request, or with the default value of 20. offset is the offset specified, or default value of 0.

The entries have a href attribute with the URL to the API for that resource, and a permalink attribute with the URL to the GUI view for the job or execution.

Content-Type: application/json:

Resources/Nodes

Listing Resources

List or query the resources for a project.

Request:

GET /api/14/project/[PROJECT]/resources

Optional Parameters:

  • format : Result format. Can use "xml", "yaml" or "json", or an installed ResourceFormat plugin name.
    • Default is 'json'
  • Node Filter parameters: You can select resources to include and exclude in the result set, see Using Node Filters below.

Accept header:

Specify a MIME type via the Accept: header to specify the requested format.

Note: If no query parameters are included, the result set will include all Node resources for the project.

Response:

Depending on the format parameter, a value of "xml" will return resource-xml and "yaml" will return resource-yaml, and "json" will return resource-json formatted results. Any other supported format value will return content in the specified format.

Getting Resource Info

Get a specific resource within a project.

Request:

GET /api/14/project/[PROJECT]/resource/[NAME]

Optional Parameters:

  • format : Result format. Can use "xml", "yaml" or "json", or an installed ResourceFormat plugin name.
    • Default is 'json' (API v23 and later)
    • Default is 'xml' (API v22 and earlier)

Response:

Depending on the format parameter, a value of "xml" will return resource-xml and "yaml" will return resource-yaml, and "json" will return resource-json formatted results.

The result will contain a single item for the specified resource.

Using Node Filters

Refer to the User Guide - Node Filters Documentation for information on the node filter syntax and usage.

A basic node filter looks like:

attribute: value attribute2: value2

To specify a Node Filter string as a URL parameter for an API request, use a parameter named filter. Your HTTP client will have to correctly escape the value of the filter parameter. For example you can use curl like this;

curl --data-urlencode "filter=attribute: value"

Common attributes:

  • name - node name
  • tags - tags
  • hostname
  • username
  • osFamily, osName, osVersion, osArch

Custom attributes can also be used.

SCM

Rundeck SCM Plugins can be used to synchronize Job definitions with an external Source Control Management repository.

Currently Rundeck includes a single built-in plugin for Git repositories.

There are two "integration" types of SCM Plugins: import and export, and they are managed separately.

A Project can be configured with a single Import and Export plugin. After setting up these plugins, Project and Job level "status" can be read. Changes to Jobs within a project affect the status for Import or Export.

Plugins provide "actions" which are available based on the Project or Job status. For example, a plugin can provide a "commit" action for a Job, which allows a user to save the changes for the job.

The specific actions, and their behaviors depend on the plugin. The actions can be listed and performed via the API.

Perform Project SCM Action

Perform the action for the SCM integration plugin, with a set of input parameters, selected Jobs, or Items, or Items to delete.

Depending on the available Input Fields for the action, the action will expect a set of input values.

The set of jobs and items to choose from will be included in the Input Fields response, however where an Item has an associated Job, you can supply either the Job ID, or the Item ID.

When there are items to be deleted on export integration, you can specify the Item IDs in the deleted section. However, if the item is associated with a renamed Job, including the Job ID will have the same effect.

When there are items to be deleted on import integration, you must specify the Job IDs in the deletedJobs section.

Note: including the Item ID of an associated job, instead of the Job ID, will not automatically delete a renamed item.

Request

POST /api/15/project/[PROJECT]/scm/[INTEGRATION]/action/[ACTION_ID]
{
    "input":{
        "message":"$commitMessage"
    },
