Web UI configuration API

COMMERCIAL FEATURE: Access web UI configuration in the packaged Sensu Go distribution. For more information, read Get started with commercial features.

NOTE: Requests to the web UI configuration API require you to authenticate with a Sensu API key or access token. The code examples in this document use the environment variable $SENSU_API_KEY to represent a valid API key in API requests.

Get the web UI configuration

The /config API endpoint provides HTTP GET access to the global web UI configuration.

Example

The following example demonstrates a request to the /config API endpoint, resulting in a JSON array that contains the global web UI configuration.

curl -X GET \
http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/enterprise/web/v1/config \
-H "Authorization: Key $SENSU_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
