im using this /API/rest/v1/recordingServers request, but im getting the hostname instead of the ip of the recording servers. there is a way to get the ip of the recording server also the remote ones?
You get is what is configured. It would probably be a source for misunderstanding if that was not the case. I suppose you can do the DNS lookup in your code.
Maybe you need a different perspective. I have an idea that this knowledge base article that tells you how you can configure XProtect recording servers differently to use IPs might come handy. https://supportcommunity.milestonesys.com/KBRedir?art=000035289&lang=en_US
My purpose is to integrate with your system while making sure that the behavior is consistent.
When we connect to a recording server, we only specify the management server. I noticed that when listing the servers via the API, the hostnames look like this:
IP-0A140114, IP-0A1401F1
I checked these DNS names and realized they are hexadecimal representations of the IP addresses. For example,
IP-0A140114 actually corresponds to 10.20.1.20
My question is: can we rely on this format for all recording servers?
I do not get the same as you observe.
I do a
GET /api/rest/v1/recordingservers/[id]
which gives me
..
“hostName”: “dksr-release-01.milestone.dk”,
..
and this corresponds with what I see in the Management Client (MC):
In order for me to understand your observation please give me the details both from the API usage (request, response) and from what you see configured in the MC.
