Generic REST

Works with: Any device with a plain HTTP or JSON status endpoint.


Type	Generic adapter
Device types	Display, Conferencing, Audio, Camera, Control
Connection	HTTP or HTTPS polling
Power on/off from the portal	No
Protocol in the portal	Generic REST (`rest`)

Before you start

In the portal, go to Devices and select New device.
Choose the Collector that can reach the device, and set Protocol to Generic REST.
Enter the settings below and save. The Collector picks up the new device within five minutes.

Setting	Required	What to enter	Example
Address	Yes	Full URL to the endpoint being polled.	`http://192.168.50.10/api/status`
Username	No	HTTP Basic username if the endpoint requires auth.
Password	No	HTTP Basic password if the endpoint requires auth.

Reachability and response time are recorded on every poll. The device’s own values depend on what its endpoint returns.

This adapter monitors only; it has no commands.
