The HTTP Client source is experimental. Its configuration and behavior can change in a future release.
Description
This is a pull source. The HTTP Client source polls an HTTP endpoint that you specify on a schedule and ingests the responses into your pipeline. Use it when the data you want lives behind an HTTP endpoint that you want Mezmo to fetch on a regular interval, such as a status or metrics API. This is different from the HTTP source, which is a push source that receives data sent to your pipeline by an external system.
You can use the HTTP Client source with both SaaS pipelines and Mezmo Edge deployments. On Mezmo Edge, the source does not check whether the endpoint is reachable from outside your network, so an Edge pipeline can poll endpoints inside your own network.
Configuration
Add an HTTP Client source to your pipeline, then configure it using the options in the table below.
