How to create a new node in the inventory
Hi, I am trying to create a new node by augmenting the existing node in opendaylight-inventory and want to be able to access it via the RESTCONF API: http://localhost:8080/restconf/operational/opendaylight-inventory:nodes/
I created a new yang file in which I defined the following: Grouping abc-node { Leaf property1 { Type string; } } augment "/inv:nodes/inv:node" { ext:augment-identifier "test-abc-node"; uses abc-node; }
This is similar to OpenFlow. I tried searching the project (controller and OpenFlow) to figure out how the node is created but I have not been successful. I did find the code where the node gets updated (inventory-manager). I looked into the InstanceIdentifier and if that can be used to insert a new node, but that seems to be for getting information of an existing instance in the inventory.
Overall, what I am trying to do is to create a new node type in my plugin that I can create and the user can modify (using http://localhost:8080/restconf/operational/opendaylight-inventory:nodes/ URL) similar to the way OpenFlow nodes work. I could not find any information on the wiki either. Could one of the MD-SAL experts please help?
