Globus Connect Server Endpoint

Overview

A Globus Connect Server endpoint is a deployment of Globus Connect Server version 5. A single endpoint may optionally include multiple data transfer nodes. he endpoint provides a link between a Globus Connect Server deployment and the Globus Transfer service. The endpoint describes services for accessing data via GridFTP and HTTPS and also for configuring and managing the policies associated with that access.

The endpoint includes interfaces for configuring and managing roles, storage gateways, collections, and nodes.

DATA_TYPE	string `endpoint#1.0.0`	Type of this document
public	boolean	Flag indicating whether this endpoint is visible to all other Globus users. If false, only users which have been granted a role on the endpoint or one of its collections, or belong to a domain allowed access to any of its storage gateways may view it.
id	string <uuid>	Unique identifier string for the endpoint.
display_name	string	Friendly name for the endpoint, not unique. Unicode string, no new lines (`\r` or `\n`). Searchable.

network_use	string `normal`, `minimal`, `aggressive`, `custom`	Allowed values for network_use are: normal The default setting. Uses an average level of concurrency and parallelism. The levels depend on the number of physical servers in the endpoint. minimal Uses a minimal level of concurrency and parallelism. aggressive Uses a high level of concurrency and parallelism. custom Uses custom values of concurrency and parallelism set by the endpoint admin. When setting this level, you must also set the max_concurrency, preferred_concurrency, max_parallelism, and preferred_parallelism options.
max_concurrency	integer	Admin-specified value when the network_use property’s value is `custom`; otherwise the preset value for the specified network_use.
preferred_concurrency	integer	Admin-specified value when the network_use property’s value is `custom`; otherwise the preset value for the specified network_use.
max_parallelism	integer	Admin-specified value when the network_use property’s value is `custom`; otherwise the preset value for the specified network_use.
preferred_parallelism	integer	Admin-specified value when the network_use property’s value is `custom`; otherwise the preset value for the specified network_use.
organization	string	Organization that runs the server(s) represented by the endpoint. Optional to preserve backward compatibility, but will eventually be required and all clients are encouraged to require users to specify it. Unicode string, max 1024 characters, no new lines.
