If an error occurs for a request there will be an error structure reported back. The structure contains a Trace ID that can be used to trace the error from the API-GW all the way back to the agents. The trace ID is used in the system logs from the processes. A human readable error message is reported back and an errorKey that describes the scope of the error.

Example:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" -X PUT http://localhost:8002/api/v1/vclgroups/2/deploy

{"traceId":"1coNQFLrcGkVcSXrOtfs0VtG3Ua","errorKey":"deploy","errorMsg":"id 2 not found"}%
