graphql mutation for creating a monitoring project in Ataccama

Hi ​@a.arora ,

although it is technically possible (to create a monitoring project through API), it is quite a complex object that requires several other entities to be created as a part of it (configuration → catalogItemInstances → rule mappings, ….). A mutation to just create the project (with nothing inside) should be feasible using this:

mutation CreateEntity_monitoringProject(
  $parentNode: String!
  $parentGid: GID!
  $parentProperty: String!
  $new: monitoringProjectNew!
) {
  monitoringProjectCreate(
    parentNode: $parentNode
    parentGid: $parentGid
    parentProperty: $parentProperty
    new: $new
  ) {
    aliasMapping {
      gid
      alias
      __typename
    }
    result {
      gid
      __typename
    }
    __typename
  }
}

With variables:

{
  "parentNode": "metadata",
  "parentGid": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",
  "parentProperty": "monitoringProjects",
  "new": {
    "name": "GraphQLTest",
    "description": null,
    "configuration": {
      "drillthrough": {
        "enabled": true,
        "sampleSize": 100,
        "_alias": "alias-0",
        "_type": "drillThroughConfiguration"
      },
      "dqParallelism": null,
      "_alias": "alias-1",
      "_type": "monitoringProjectConfiguration"
    },
    "dataInstances": [],
    "_alias": "alias-2",
    "_type": "monitoringProject"
  }

That creates a draft of an empty project. If you are unable to use Playground, you can always investigate the APIs using developer tools: 

Besides the pure API, you can also use ONE Metadata writer steps in the ONE Desktop to create the project. But it also requires multiple steps to populate it with the required configuration.

Kind regards,

Anna
