Changelog

The Direct Access Agents API has been updated with new endpoints that allow you to retrieve and update configuration files for individual connectors, including the File connector and the REST connector.

Configuration files must use a plain text format: flat, newline-delimited, and unescaped.

The following new endpoints give you more control over connector behavior on Direct Access gateways:

• GET /v1/direct-access-agents/{agentId}/connectors/{connectorType}/files - Retrieve configuration files for the specified connector.
• GET /v1/direct-access-agents/{agentId}/connectors/{connectorType}/files/{fileType} - Retrieve the configuration values from the flat file for the specified connector.
• PUT /v1/direct-access-agents/{agentId}/connectors/{connectorType}/files/{fileType} - Replace the contents of the flat file for the specified connector. Partial updates are not supported.

These new endpoints are supported from Direct Access Gateway 1.7.4 onward and are available only to users with the Tenant Admin role.

To use these endpoints, you need the Direct Access Gateway agent ID (agentId). This ID appears in the connector-agent logs as the agent-gateway-id after submitting a metadata request or reload, for example:

[INFO ] DAG - ... Message=agent-gateway-id: llaIfam89pGBzccYd9R1W4S4wee-S1FH
