Description: Registers a Varnish instance in VAC. Supports registration to a group directly
Expected: HTTP 200/201

For more information on the Varnish-agent and its registration follow this link

Registering a Varnish instance in VAC

Upon using -z on Varnish-agent, Varnish-agent should successfully register with the VAC.

Note that the agent will send the following payload as an example::

{ "port" : "18080", "user" : "foo", "password" : "bar", "dash-n": ""}

Agent registration can be simulated via curl. However, VAC does attempt to callback to said agent to verify the correctness of the endpoint in order to complete the registration. Due to this process, the curl simulation of the process will fail.

Note that if the agent is not previously added, a 201 Created response is returned. If its already registered, a 200 OK is returned back to the agent.

Registering a Varnish instance to a VAC group

Agent registration will need to be authenticated on the Varnish agent side, to be able to register and be added subsequently to a group.

Example:

DAEMON_OPTS=“-z http://<vac_user>:<vac_password>@vac_server/api/v1/register?groupID=<group_ID>“

Where groupID is the group where you want the Varnish instance to belong.

```json ```

PUT
Description: Varnish-Agent will use this endpoint to push varnishstat data to the VAC
Expected: HTTP 200
Content-Type: application/json

In the event of duplicate JSON attributes are present in the JSON, the VAC keeps the last value of that attribute, accepting the JSON payload.
