Request parameters

Glance has two methods of updating image information. The method is specified by Content-Type in the HTTP header. application/openstack-images-v2.0-json-patch and application/openstack-images-v2.1-json-patch are supported. Content types differ only in the format of the request message body.

Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
op	String	Yes	Indicates the type of the update operation, including replacing, adding, and deleting an attribute. The value can be replace, add, or remove.
path	String	Yes	Indicates the name of the target attribute. For replace and remove, the value can only be an existing attribute of the image. For add, the value can be an existing or a new attribute. If the value is an existing attribute, add takes the same effect as replace. If the value is a new attribute, the add operation is performed. Add a slash (/) before the attribute name.

Monitoring is key for ensuring ECS performance, reliability, and availability. Using monitored data, you can determine ECS resource utilization. The cloud platform provides Cloud Eye to help you obtain the running statuses of your ECSs. You can use Cloud Eye to automatically monitor ECSs in real time and manage alarms and notifications to keep track of ECS performance metrics. Example: "__support_agent_list": "hss,ces" NOTE: If the response does not contain this field, the HSS and host monitoring agents are not configured for the image. HSS has not been available on the cloud platform. So, you only need to focus on the value ces.
