How to provision files

To be able to orchestrate services on your device, you need to configure all the resources. These resources can be:

Text: for content being copied as plain text to the edge node.
Shell Script: for resources that will be installed and run according to the selected trigger.

You can create a resource using:

Go to Real-Time Manager (RTM) > Edge Libraries > Edge Services.
Select the edge service to which you want to add a resource.
Go to the Resources tab.
Click on Add Resource.
Enter the filepath of the resource.
Choose the type Text.
Add the following content to the content block:

My name is {{name}}, and this is my first added resource

Click the Save button.

Access Azion Console > Edge Services.
Select the edge service to which you want to add a resource.
Go to the Resources tab.
Click on + Resource.
Enter the Path of the resource.
Choose the type Text.
Add the following content to the content block:

My name is {{name}}, and this is my first added resource

Click the Save button.

Run the following GET request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token and retrieve the edge service ID:

curl --location 'https://api.azionapi.net/edge_services/' \
--header 'Accept: application/json; version=3' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]'

Run the following POST request in your terminal:

curl --location 'https://api.azionapi.net/edge_services/:id/resources' \
--header 'Accept: application/json; version=3' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
  "content_type": "Text",
  "name": "/resource",
  "content": "My name is {{name}}, and this is my first added resource"
}'

Replace [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token, :id with the ID of the edge service and inform the following parameters in the request body:

Property	Description	Required
`content_type`	Content type of the resource being created	Yes
`name`	Name of the resource being created	Yes
`content`	Content that defines actions performed when the resource state changes in the edge node	Yes

Now, your resource is created and able to work with the edge nodes related to the service in specific.
