Overview

Starts the asynchronous claim process for a device reachable via an edge proxy. The device is identified by its IP/Host address, and the claim is handled through the Edge.

The following information is required to claim an Edge device:

The ID of the Edge (Available in the End Customer Portal)
Device Model - The list of currently supported models is available from Xyte's support. To claim "Heartbeat monitoring" (only Ping) use the Heartbeat model id: 5dc4ba6c-c323-4118-a4e4-504f074426f2
The IP/Hostname of the device to monitor.

The Claiming flow is asynchronous, to check the status of the process poll the Get Claim Status API.

Authorization

This endpoint requires Authorization.
