    Hello Rob,

    You can POST to /api/device, only filling out the specific fields and using a device class for virtual devices. An example payload is:

    {
      "name": "Example Virtual Device",
      "class_type": "/api/device_class/<virtual device class ID>",
      "collector_group": "/api/collector_group/1",
      "organization": "/api/organization/0"
    } 

    Replacing <virtual device class ID> with the ID of the virtual device class you want.

Thanks Teppo - we have not started working with GQL yet.  Is there a comparable way to do this in the REST API?  Also, since aligning the dynamic app requires a credential, how would you create a credential and include it with the DA alignment?
