For endpoints that return a list of results, the content object is an envelope. Ops Manager adds the status field to the response body.

false

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

The response JSON document includes an array of result objects, an array of link objects and a count of the total number of result objects retrieved.
