Errors trying to restart Sidecars via API

[MartinK]

Hello,

I’m having troubles with the “/sidecar/administration/action” API-Call.
The Graylog version used is 3.1.4.
The API-Call is issued through the swagger API-browser and this is the json-body:

{
  "action": "restart",
  "collectors": [
    { "sidecarId": "8a62dd0b-4043-4397-a776-994652105d0e" }
  ]
}

This is the response body being returned:

{
  "type": "ApiError",
  "message": "Can not construct instance of org.graylog.plugins.sidecar.rest.requests.BulkActionRequest, problem: Null sidecarId\n at [Source: org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.ReaderInterceptorExecutor$UnCloseableInputStream@32a0b0a9; line: 4, column: 59] (through reference chain: org.graylog.plugins.sidecar.rest.requests.BulkActionsRequest[\"collectors\"]->java.util.ArrayList[0])"
}

Is this the right body for this function? Within swagger only this is described for the body:

 urn:jsonschema:org:graylog:plugins:sidecar:rest:requests:BulkActionsRequest {
action (string, optional),
collectors (array[object], optional)
}

I found the correct json body in a recent forum post:

Sidecar Administration using REST API

Hi, I am trying to apply a configuration and collector to a sidecar using the REST API. I’m using the api-browser to do it for now just to learn the api. I am making the following request. However, I am not sure what the “action” string is. When doing from the web, I can see the “apply” and “remove” actions. [sidecar-admin-action-api] Is this the correct way of adding configuration_id and collector_id using the REST API? I tried searching around but could not find any info. I’ve also looke…

{
  "action": "restart",
  "collectors": [
    {
      "sidecar_id": "8a62dd0b-4043-4397-a776-994652105d0e",
      "collector_ids": [ "5e15b597fef274241dcb74c7" ]
    }
  ]
}
