Reboot the system

post

/rest/{version}/admin/reboot

Reboots the system. Before rebooting itself, the system sends an immediate response to the client, indicating the reboot request was received. To determine when the reboot has completed and the system is again able to respond to requests, the client can issue requests periodically until a request no longer times out.

Request

Path Parameters
  • REST API version string.
    Available values: v1.1
Header Parameters
  • The value in the Authorization header must be the string "Bearer {access token}", where {access token} is a valid, unexpired token received in response to a prior /rest/{version}/auth/token request.
