After four days of fighting with trying to automate setup of Fleet, I think I might toss it out of the Almanac entirely. We’ll see. But I was informed that the documentation is now slop-heavy, and that tracks.
Exhibit A: Create a package policy | Kibana API documentation
If you look at the example there, you’ll see that the inputs POST parameter is a JSON object. And yet, if you look at the schema docs, it claims it is an array. Attempting either request via the API results in a schema validation fail. Arrays demand objects; objects demand arrays. Consequently, you cannot automatically create a full Fleet Server policy via the API. You must point-and-click in the UI (which magically bypasses schema validation?) after installation.
But if this is broken, I’m worried about what else is.
