New API Specification Tab?

    Looking at some of the solutions, I'm seeing a new tab on the solution's page called "API Specification" that shows some sort of list of the events/services related to the broker?


    Currently, it looks like it's only on the OpenDXL Broker and the VirusTotal DXL Service solutions.


    This seems like a great option to have - we've had a decent amount of difficulty planning out what solutions to use on our fabric without testing each one individually.


    Our team has a couple of questions, though:

    • Are there plans to create these API specifications for more solutions?
    • Can we expect to see some of the commercial solutions providing this information?
    • Are these specification documents also going to be provided in some kind of standardized format that we can consume?

    Glad to hear you're enjoying the start of this new feature for OpenDXL. Having this kind of information available has been a popular request, and it's great to finally be able to provide it.


    We are planning to increase the available number of API specifications for solutions to include all McAfee-created solutions (including commercial solutions such as TIE and MAR. Partner solutions may eventually get API specifications as well, provided by the partner themselves.


    Each McAfee-created solution with an API specification will also have the specification available in YAML or JSON format - in fact these formatted documents are used to generate the more reader-friendly version you see in the API Specification tab.


    We should have many more specifications available soon!
