Syntax

A subject key describes the category of network element, e.g. links, devices, hosts, etc. Each network element is associated with a unique identifier (a subject) and one or more attributes, associated with some value, grouped into configs. The configs themselves are classified by config keys.

The JSON file used with the service then takes on the following format:

{
    subject key : {                   # element category, e.g. "devices", "links", etc.
        subject : {                   # unique string, e.g. a device ID
            config key 1 : {          # config class of config, e.g. "basic"
                attr1 : value1,       # attribute : value pairs associated with a config
                attr2 : value2,
                ...
            },
            ...
        },
          ...
    },
    ...
}
