Targets utility requests

Utility requests provide metadata that you can use to make related requests, assemble inputDTOs, or see the potential values of a particular DTO.

The targets endpoint contains a utility request called specs that shows the information required for probe registry for each target available to Turbonomic, including required input fields and expected target type and category values.

Example: GET https://10.10.10.10/api/v3/targets/specs

Response: An array of TargetApiDTO objects, where each object contains an array of input fields. This example shows one entry for the JVM probe in the Application Server category.
