We are building an app that will have a component to build a virtual device, align a dynamic app and a credential to it using the SL1 API.  Looking for some guidance on how to do this as we have never done anything with device creation through the API, only /alerts creation.

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.

    Creating a virtual device can be don pretty easily:

    mutation { 
        createVirtualDevice (
          name: "test_1"
          organization: 35
          collectorGroup: 1
          deviceClass: "E4DC4FF34FEF1144051B1F2B103970F7"
        ) {
          id
        } 
      }

    Though you have first to find the organization ID and deviceClass GUID

    Quite similarly you can create credentials also with GQL there are mutations for that, for example createSoapCredential, createSshCredential etc

    Then just align the DA with updateDeviceAlignedDynamicApplication mutation request
