Unit
Unit is the core unit of operation in ConfigHub. It contains a blob of configuration Data of a single supported Toolchain Type (configuration format). This blob is typically a text document that contains a collection of Kubernetes or infrastructure resources, or an application configuration file. Applying / deploying or destroying the configuration happens as a single transaction from ConfigHub's perspective. In reality, it is most often a multi-step workflow performed by the underlying configuration / deployment tool. The resources must belong to a single infrastructure provider and the actuation mechanism must be able to resolve references and ordering dependencies among the resources within the document. For example, if one resource needs to be fully provisioned to provide input to another resource, then the actuation code is responsible for handling this. Revisions store historical copies of the configuration data. Configuration data can be restored from prior Revisions. Units can also be cloned to create new variants of a configuration.

Query Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
where |
string | The specified string is an expression for the purpose of filtering the list of Units returned. The expression syntax was inspired by SQL. It supports conjunctions using AND of relational expressions of the form attribute operator attribute_or_literal. The attribute names are case-sensitive and PascalCase, as in the JSON encoding. Strings support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, ~*, !~, !~*, IN, NOT IN. String pattern operators: LIKE and ~~ for pattern matching with % and _ wildcards, ILIKE for case-insensitive pattern matching, NOT LIKE and !~~ for negated pattern matching. String regex operators: ~ for regex matching, ~* for case-insensitive regex, !~ and !~* for regex not matching (case-sensitive and insensitive). Integers support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, IN, NOT IN. UUIDs and boolean attributes support equality and inequality only. UUID and time literals must be quoted as string literals. String literals are quoted with single quotes, such as 'string'. Time literals use the same form as when serialized as JSON, such as: CreatedAt > '2025-02-18T23:16:34'. Integer and boolean literals are also supported for attributes of those types. Arrays support the ? operator to to match any element of the array, as in ApprovedBy ? '7c61626f-ddbe-41af-93f6-b69f4ab6d308'. Arrays can perform LEN() to check for length, as in LEN(ApprovedBy) > 0. An attribute naming a list of other entities can be filtered on their attributes with a * segment, as in FromLink.*.Slug = 'upgrade-app', which holds when any element satisfies it. Without the * such a reference is an error, since it names no single value to compare. Map support the dot notation to specify a particular map key, as in Labels.tier = 'Backend'. Maps support IS NULL and IS NOT NULL with dot notation to check for key absence or presence, as in Labels.tier IS NULL (key doesn't exist) or Labels.tier IS NOT NULL (key exists). Comparison results can be tested with IS TRUE, IS FALSE, IS NOT TRUE, and IS NOT FALSE. These are useful for nullable columns: MergeSourceID = '<uuid>' IS NOT FALSE matches rows where MergeSourceID equals the value OR is NULL. The IN and NOT IN operators accept a comma-separated list of values in parentheses, such as Slug IN ('slugone', 'slugtwo') or Labels.environment IN ('prod', 'staging'). Conjunctions are supported using the AND operator. An example conjunction is: CreatedAt >= '2025-01-07' AND Slug = 'test' AND Labels.mykey = 'myvalue'. Supported attributes for filtering on Unit: Annotations, ApplyGates, ApplyWarnings, ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, Conflicts, CreatedAt, DataHash, DeleteGates, DestroyGates, DisplayName, FromLinkID, HeadRevisionNum, HeadUnitActionNum, HeadUnitEventNum, Labels, LastActionAt, LastChangeDescription, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, ProviderType, Slug, SpaceID, TargetID, TargetOptions, ToolchainType, UnitID, UpdatedAt, UpstreamRevisionNum, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID, Values. Finding all units created by cloning can be done using the expression UpstreamRevisionNum > 0. Clones of a specific unit can be found by additionally filtering based on UpstreamUnitID. Unapplied units can be found using LastReleasedRevisionNum = 0. Units with unapplied changes can be found with HeadRevisionNum > LastReleasedRevisionNum. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
filter |
string | UUID of a Filter entity to apply to the Unit list. The Filter must be in the same Organization as the user credentials. The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Unit). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID. The Filter's Where clause will be combined with any explicit 'where' parameter using AND logic. If both 'filter' and 'where' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. | |
contains |
string | Free text search that approximately matches the specified string against string fields and map keys/values. The search is case-insensitive and uses pattern matching to find entities containing the text. Searchable string fields include attributes like Slug, DisplayName, and string-typed custom fields. For map fields (like Labels and Annotations), the search matches both map keys and values. The search uses OR logic across all searchable fields, so matching any field will return the entity. If both 'where' and 'contains' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. Searchable fields for Unit include string and map-type attributes from the queryable attributes list. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
include |
string | Include clause for expanding related entities in the response for Unit. The attribute names are case-sensitive, PascalCase, and expected in a comma-separated list format as in the JSON encoding. Supported attributes for Unit are ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, FromLinkID, HeadMutationNum, HeadRevisionNum, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, SpaceID, TargetID, UnitEventID, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
select |
string | Select clause for specifying which fields to include in the response for Unit. The attribute names are case-sensitive, PascalCase, and expected in a comma-separated list format as in the JSON encoding. If not specified, all fields are returned. Entity and parent IDs (like OrganizationID, SpaceID, UnitID) and Slug are always returned regardless of the select parameter. Fields used in where and contains filters, and fields named by order_by, are also automatically included. Example: 'DisplayName,CreatedAt,Labels' will return only those fields plus the required ID and Slug fields. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
resource_type |
string | Resource type: Resource type to match for the desired ToolchainType, for example apps/v1/Deployment | |
where_data |
string | Where data: The specified string is an expression for the purpose of evaluating whether the configuration data matches the filter. It supports conjunctions using AND of relational expressions of the form path operator literal. The path specifications are dot-separated, for both map fields and array indices, as in spec.template.spec.containers.0.image = 'ghcr.io/headlamp-k8s/headlamp:latest' AND spec.replicas > 1. Path expressions support * for wildcard array or map segments and ?key=value syntax for associative matches of array elements containing objects with a key attribute. Strings support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, !~, ~*, !~*, IN, NOT IN. String pattern operators: LIKE and ~~ for pattern matching with % and _ wildcards, ILIKE for case-insensitive pattern matching, !~~ for NOT LIKE. String regex operators: ~ for regex matching, ~* for case-insensitive regex, !~ and !~* for regex not matching (case-sensitive and insensitive). Integers support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, IN, NOT IN. Boolean values support equality and inequality only. The IN and NOT IN operators accept a comma-separated list of values in parentheses, such as spec.template.spec.containers.0.image#reference IN (':latest', ':arm64-latest'). The syntax .\| requires the preceding path to exist; otherwise the relation != will always return true regardless what it is compared with. String literals are quoted with single quotes, such as 'string'. Integer and boolean literals are also supported for attributes of those types. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
where_trigger |
string | Where expression to match Triggers. Matched triggers are invoked on each unit to filter by validation results. Use with triggers_passed to control whether passing or failing units are returned (default: failing). | |
trigger_filter |
string | Filter UUID (with From=Trigger). The filter's matching triggers are invoked on units to filter by validation results. Can be combined with where_trigger. | |
triggers_passed |
boolean | When true, return units that pass trigger validation; when false (default), return units that fail. Only applies when where_trigger or trigger_filter is specified. | |
view |
string | View slug or UUID. Applies the View's column definitions to extract values for each unit. If the View has a FilterID, its filter is ANDed with other filters. The View must have Of=Unit or a Filter with From=Unit. |

Get the config data of many Units across spaces
GET /unit_data
Returns the configuration of every Unit the where clause selects, across every Space in the organization, in one request, with each Unit's DataHash and DataSize. This is the bulk counterpart of the single-Unit data endpoint; it exists as an endpoint of its own rather than as a mode on the Unit list so that no query parameter changes the shape of a response. Scope it to one Space with a where clause.

Get the mutation sources of many Units across spaces
GET /unit_mutation_sources
Returns what set each value in the configuration of every Unit the where clause selects, across every Space in the organization, in one request. This is the bulk counterpart of the single-Unit mutation-sources subresource, and the Unit-level counterpart of /revision_mutation_sources, which cannot answer for a Unit's head because "each Unit's head Revision" is not expressible as a where clause over Revisions. Scope it to one Space with a where clause.

Integer and boolean literals are also supported for attributes of those types. Arrays support the ? operator to to match any element of the array, as in ApprovedBy ? '7c61626f-ddbe-41af-93f6-b69f4ab6d308'. Arrays can perform LEN() to check for length, as in LEN(ApprovedBy) > 0. An attribute naming a list of other entities can be filtered on their attributes with a * segment, as in FromLink.*.Slug = 'upgrade-app', which holds when any element satisfies it. Without the * such a reference is an error, since it names no single value to compare. Map support the dot notation to specify a particular map key, as in Labels.tier = 'Backend'. Maps support IS NULL and IS NOT NULL with dot notation to check for key absence or presence, as in Labels.tier IS NULL (key doesn't exist) or Labels.tier IS NOT NULL (key exists). Comparison results can be tested with IS TRUE, IS FALSE, IS NOT TRUE, and IS NOT FALSE. These are useful for nullable columns: MergeSourceID = '<uuid>' IS NOT FALSE matches rows where MergeSourceID equals the value OR is NULL. The IN and NOT IN operators accept a comma-separated list of values in parentheses, such as Slug IN ('slugone', 'slugtwo') or Labels.environment IN ('prod', 'staging'). Conjunctions are supported using the AND operator. An example conjunction is: CreatedAt >= '2025-01-07' AND Slug = 'test' AND Labels.mykey = 'myvalue'. Supported attributes for filtering on Unit: Annotations, ApplyGates, ApplyWarnings, ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, Conflicts, CreatedAt, DataHash, DeleteGates, DestroyGates, DisplayName, FromLinkID, HeadRevisionNum, HeadUnitActionNum, HeadUnitEventNum, Labels, LastActionAt, LastChangeDescription, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, ProviderType, Slug, SpaceID, TargetID, TargetOptions, ToolchainType, UnitID, UpdatedAt, UpstreamRevisionNum, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID, Values. Finding all units created by cloning can be done using the expression UpstreamRevisionNum > 0. Clones of a specific unit can be found by additionally filtering based on UpstreamUnitID. Unapplied units can be found using LastReleasedRevisionNum = 0. Units with unapplied changes can be found with HeadRevisionNum > LastReleasedRevisionNum. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
filter |
string | UUID of a Filter entity to apply to the Unit list. The Filter must be in the same Organization as the user credentials. The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Unit). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID. The Filter's Where clause will be combined with any explicit 'where' parameter using AND logic. If both 'filter' and 'where' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. | |
contains |
string | Free text search that approximately matches the specified string against string fields and map keys/values. The search is case-insensitive and uses pattern matching to find entities containing the text. Searchable string fields include attributes like Slug, DisplayName, and string-typed custom fields. For map fields (like Labels and Annotations), the search matches both map keys and values. The search uses OR logic across all searchable fields, so matching any field will return the entity. If both 'where' and 'contains' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. Searchable fields for Unit include string and map-type attributes from the queryable attributes list. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
include |
string | Include clause for expanding related entities in the response for Unit. The attribute names are case-sensitive, PascalCase, and expected in a comma-separated list format as in the JSON encoding. Supported attributes for Unit are ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, FromLinkID, HeadMutationNum, HeadRevisionNum, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, SpaceID, TargetID, UnitEventID, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
select |
string | Select clause for specifying which fields to include in the response for Unit. The attribute names are case-sensitive, PascalCase, and expected in a comma-separated list format as in the JSON encoding. If not specified, all fields are returned. Entity and parent IDs (like OrganizationID, SpaceID, UnitID) and Slug are always returned regardless of the select parameter. Fields used in where and contains filters, and fields named by order_by, are also automatically included. Example: 'DisplayName,CreatedAt,Labels' will return only those fields plus the required ID and Slug fields. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
resource_type |
string | Resource type: Resource type to match for the desired ToolchainType, for example apps/v1/Deployment | |
where_data |
string | Where data: The specified string is an expression for the purpose of evaluating whether the configuration data matches the filter. It supports conjunctions using AND of relational expressions of the form path operator literal. The path specifications are dot-separated, for both map fields and array indices, as in spec.template.spec.containers.0.image = 'ghcr.io/headlamp-k8s/headlamp:latest' AND spec.replicas > 1. Path expressions support * for wildcard array or map segments and ?key=value syntax for associative matches of array elements containing objects with a key attribute. Strings support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, !~, ~*, !~*, IN, NOT IN. String pattern operators: LIKE and ~~ for pattern matching with % and _ wildcards, ILIKE for case-insensitive pattern matching, !~~ for NOT LIKE. String regex operators: ~ for regex matching, ~* for case-insensitive regex, !~ and !~* for regex not matching (case-sensitive and insensitive). Integers support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, IN, NOT IN. Boolean values support equality and inequality only. The IN and NOT IN operators accept a comma-separated list of values in parentheses, such as spec.template.spec.containers.0.image#reference IN (':latest', ':arm64-latest'). The syntax .\| requires the preceding path to exist; otherwise the relation != will always return true regardless what it is compared with. String literals are quoted with single quotes, such as 'string'. Integer and boolean literals are also supported for attributes of those types. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
where_trigger |
string | Where expression to match Triggers. Matched triggers are invoked on each unit to filter by validation results. Use with triggers_passed to control whether passing or failing units are returned (default: failing). | |
trigger_filter |
string | Filter UUID (with From=Trigger). The filter's matching triggers are invoked on units to filter by validation results. Can be combined with where_trigger. | |
triggers_passed |
boolean | When true, return units that pass trigger validation; when false (default), return units that fail. Only applies when where_trigger or trigger_filter is specified. | |
view |
string | View slug or UUID. Applies the View's column definitions to extract values for each unit. If the View has a FilterID, its filter is ANDed with other filters. The View must have Of=Unit or a Filter with From=Unit. |

|---|---|---|---|
upstream_space_id |
string | Unique identifier for a upstream_space_id | |
upstream_unit_id |
string | Unique identifier for a upstream_unit_id | |
upstream_revision |
string | Revision of the upstream Unit to copy. The default is its head, which is what a clone has always taken. Takes the same forms as merge_end and restore -- a revision number, a named revision, 'Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Before:...' -- resolved against the Unit being cloned from, so a bulk clone lands on a different revision of each source Unit. 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' is what a promotion uses: it names the state the change starts from, which for a Unit no target has taken yet is its first revision, so the upgrade that follows replays the change into the clone rather than the clone arriving with the change already folded in. Requires upstream_unit_id (or, in bulk, a source Unit to clone). | |
syncback |
boolean | Also create a MergeUnits Link from each upstream Unit back to its clone, alongside the UpgradeUnit Link a clone always gets. The upgrade Link carries changes from the upstream Unit into the clone; this one carries them the other way, which is what makes a clone usable as a draft: change it, review it, then resolve the Link (resolve=Link:...) on the upstream Unit to merge the change home. A Unit may be the source of several of these -- one per outstanding draft -- so each is named for the clone it takes changes from (syncback- |
|
merge_external_source |
string | Identifier of the external source. Sets the source type to MergeExternal and appends the source name to the change description. | |
allow_exists |
string | Allowed values are true and false. Default is false. When true, reports success when an entity already exists and returns the existing entity | |
include |
string | Comma-separated parts of the result to return in addition to the Unit: ConfigData for the configuration the operation produced, and MutationSources for what set each value in it. Neither is a field of a Unit, and both cost something to return, so they are returned only when named. A dry run stores nothing, so this is the only way to see what it would have produced. |

Set path guards on a unit
POST /space/{space_id}/unit/{unit_id}/guard
Set or remove guards on the unit's PathAnnotations. A guard names a reason a path's value is what it is, so a later operation can be required to know about that reason before overwriting it. Nothing enforces guards yet: setting one records the reason and changes no behavior. A guard may name a path or resource the unit does not have, since it is policy about the configuration rather than a statement about its current contents. Creates a new revision only if the guards actually change. Requires Edit permission.

string | The specified string is an expression for the purpose of filtering the list of Units returned. The expression syntax was inspired by SQL. It supports conjunctions using AND of relational expressions of the form attribute operator attribute_or_literal. The attribute names are case-sensitive and PascalCase, as in the JSON encoding. Strings support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, ~*, !~, !~*, IN, NOT IN. String pattern operators: LIKE and ~~ for pattern matching with % and _ wildcards, ILIKE for case-insensitive pattern matching, NOT LIKE and !~~ for negated pattern matching.

The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Space). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID. The Filter's Where clause will be combined with any explicit 'where' parameter using AND logic. If both 'filter' and 'where' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. | |
allow_exists |
string | Allowed values are true and false. Default is false. When true, reports success when an entity already exists and returns the existing entity | |
include_outgoing_links_where |
string | The specified string is an expression for the purpose of filtering the list of Links returned. The expression syntax was inspired by SQL. It supports conjunctions using AND of relational expressions of the form attribute operator attribute_or_literal. The attribute names are case-sensitive and PascalCase, as in the JSON encoding. Strings support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, ~*, !~, !~*, IN, NOT IN. String pattern operators: LIKE and ~~ for pattern matching with % and _ wildcards, ILIKE for case-insensitive pattern matching, NOT LIKE and !~~ for negated pattern matching. String regex operators: ~ for regex matching, ~* for case-insensitive regex, !~ and !~* for regex not matching (case-sensitive and insensitive). Integers support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, IN, NOT IN. UUIDs and boolean attributes support equality and inequality only. UUID and time literals must be quoted as string literals. String literals are quoted with single quotes, such as 'string'. Time literals use the same form as when serialized as JSON, such as: CreatedAt > '2025-02-18T23:16:34'. Integer and boolean literals are also supported for attributes of those types. Arrays support the ? operator to to match any element of the array, as in ApprovedBy ? '7c61626f-ddbe-41af-93f6-b69f4ab6d308'. Arrays can perform LEN() to check for length, as in LEN(ApprovedBy) > 0. An attribute naming a list of other entities can be filtered on their attributes with a * segment, as in FromLink.*.Slug = 'upgrade-app', which holds when any element satisfies it. Without the * such a reference is an error, since it names no single value to compare. Map support the dot notation to specify a particular map key, as in Labels.tier = 'Backend'. Maps support IS NULL and IS NOT NULL with dot notation to check for key absence or presence, as in Labels.tier IS NULL (key doesn't exist) or Labels.tier IS NOT NULL (key exists). Comparison results can be tested with IS TRUE, IS FALSE, IS NOT TRUE, and IS NOT FALSE. These are useful for nullable columns: MergeSourceID = '<uuid>' IS NOT FALSE matches rows where MergeSourceID equals the value OR is NULL. The IN and NOT IN operators accept a comma-separated list of values in parentheses, such as Slug IN ('slugone', 'slugtwo') or Labels.environment IN ('prod', 'staging'). Conjunctions are supported using the AND operator. An example conjunction is: CreatedAt >= '2025-01-07' AND Slug = 'test' AND Labels.mykey = 'myvalue'. Supported attributes for filtering on Link: Annotations, AutoUpdate, CreatedAt, DeleteGates, DisplayName, DownstreamLastMergedRevisionNum, FromUnitID, Hash, Labels, LinkID, MergeEnableSubtraction, OrganizationID, Protect, Slug, SpaceID, Squash, Stale, ToSpaceID, ToUnitID, TransformInvocationID, UpdateType, UpdatedAt, UpstreamLastMergedRevisionNum, UpstreamLinkID, UpstreamSpaceID. Where expression to filter outgoing links (links to units outside the cloned set) for copying. If non-empty, matching outgoing links are also copied with FromUnitID retargeted to the cloned unit. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
upstream_revision |
string | Revision of the upstream Unit to copy. The default is its head, which is what a clone has always taken. Takes the same forms as merge_end and restore -- a revision number, a named revision, 'Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Before:...' -- resolved against the Unit being cloned from, so a bulk clone lands on a different revision of each source Unit. 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' is what a promotion uses: it names the state the change starts from, which for a Unit no target has taken yet is its first revision, so the upgrade that follows replays the change into the clone rather than the clone arriving with the change already folded in. Requires upstream_unit_id (or, in bulk, a source Unit to clone). | |
syncback |
boolean | Also create a MergeUnits Link from each upstream Unit back to its clone, alongside the UpgradeUnit Link a clone always gets. The upgrade Link carries changes from the upstream Unit into the clone; this one carries them the other way, which is what makes a clone usable as a draft: change it, review it, then resolve the Link (resolve=Link:...) on the upstream Unit to merge the change home. A Unit may be the source of several of these -- one per outstanding draft -- so each is named for the clone it takes changes from (syncback- |

filter |
string | UUID of a Filter entity to apply to the Unit list. The Filter must be in the same Organization as the user credentials. The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Unit). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID.

string | Free text search that approximately matches the specified string against string fields and map keys/values. The search is case-insensitive and uses pattern matching to find entities containing the text. Searchable string fields include attributes like Slug, DisplayName, and string-typed custom fields. For map fields (like Labels and Annotations), the search matches both map keys and values. The search uses OR logic across all searchable fields, so matching any field will return the entity. If both 'where' and 'contains' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. Searchable fields for Unit include string and map-type attributes from the queryable attributes list. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
include |
string | Include clause for expanding related entities in the response for Unit. The attribute names are case-sensitive, PascalCase, and expected in a comma-separated list format as in the JSON encoding. Supported attributes for Unit are ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, FromLinkID, HeadMutationNum, HeadRevisionNum, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, SpaceID, TargetID, UnitEventID, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |

Query Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
revision_id |
string | Unique identifier for a revision_id | |
dry_run |
boolean | Dry run mode: return changed unit(s) but don't update configuration data | |
protect |
boolean | Record the paths this operation writes as protected local overrides, so a later merge from upstream does not overwrite them. Without it the operation claims nothing: each written path keeps whatever the Unit already has for it, and a path with no history is left unprotected. It only ever adds protection -- re-opening a path is the /protection API (cub unit set-protection --unprotect). Has no effect with restore, which rewinds MutationSources to the restored Revision's stored values wholesale. | |
clearance |
string | The classes of guarded reason this operation is cleared for, as a JSON Clearance -- a list of {Key, Operator, Values} requirements, where Operator is Exists, In, NotIn, or DoesNotExist. A path whose guards this does not cover is not written, and the withheld change is reported as a Guarded conflict. An absent or empty clearance clears nothing, which only matters for a Unit that has guards. | |
guards |
string | The guards this operation records on the paths it writes, as a JSON object of guard key to value -- the reasons those paths hold what they hold, so a later operation must be cleared for them before overwriting. The guard analogue of protect: protect claims the paths, this says why. It only ever adds and overwrites the keys it names -- retiring a guard is the /guard API (cub unit set-guard --remove-guard). | |
squash |
boolean | Merge the range as one rebased diff and record it as one Revision, instead of walking it. By default a merge replays: it takes the source's Revisions in order and, where a Revision records function invocations that can be re-executed, runs them against this Unit rather than rebasing their recorded paths onto it -- so a change lands where this Unit's own structure puts it -- and records each source Revision that has an effect here as a Revision of its own, carrying that Revision's change description, its own conflicts, and one Mutation per source Mutation. Squashing gives up both: the range arrives as a single rebased patch in a single Revision, which is what a merge did before replay existed. Accepted with upgrade, merge_source, and resolve of an UpgradeUnit or MergeUnits Link, and refused elsewhere, since there is no range to walk. A Link can ask for it standingly with its Squash field. | |
upgrade |
boolean | Upgrade the unit to the latest version of its upstream unit | |
restore |
string | Restore revision source. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
resolve |
string | Resolve Links from this (downstream) Unit to another (upstream) Unit, propagating what each Link's UpdateType says to propagate. Expects Link:, Link: |
|
merge_source |
string | Merge source unit. Currently it must be a unit ID or 'Self'. | |
merge_base |
string | Merge base revision, which provides the base configuration data of the changes to merge. With merge_source, this is a revision of the merge source unit. With merge_external_source, this is a revision of the unit being updated and overrides the default selection of the latest MergeExternal revision. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
merge_end |
string | Merge end revision of the merge source, which provides the final configuration of the changes to merge. Also accepted with upgrade and with resolve, where it names how far along the source to take the propagation; the default there is the source's head. Naming a ChangeSet or Tag that ends a change is what leaves a change still being made at the source behind. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
merge_external_source |
string | Identifier of the external source for merge-on-update. When set, computes mutations between the last MergeExternal revision and the provided data, then patches the current unit data with those mutations. | |
merge_enable_subtraction |
boolean | Enable the subtraction (override-preservation) step of upgrade and merge_source. By default (false), the source patch is applied without subtraction and the target's local differences are preserved by the stored Mutation Protected values; set true to additionally subtract the target's local differences from the source patch. Has no effect on a self merge (merge_source=Self), where subtraction is always disabled. | |
where_mutation |
string | The specified string is an expression for the purpose of filtering the list of Mutations returned. The expression syntax was inspired by SQL. It supports conjunctions using AND of relational expressions of the form attribute operator attribute_or_literal. The attribute names are case-sensitive and PascalCase, as in the JSON encoding. Strings support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, ~*, !~, !~*, IN, NOT IN. String pattern operators: LIKE and ~~ for pattern matching with % and _ wildcards, ILIKE for case-insensitive pattern matching, NOT LIKE and !~~ for negated pattern matching. String regex operators: ~ for regex matching, ~* for case-insensitive regex, !~ and !~* for regex not matching (case-sensitive and insensitive). Integers support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, IN, NOT IN. UUIDs and boolean attributes support equality and inequality only. UUID and time literals must be quoted as string literals. String literals are quoted with single quotes, such as 'string'. Time literals use the same form as when serialized as JSON, such as: CreatedAt > '2025-02-18T23:16:34'. Integer and boolean literals are also supported for attributes of those types. Arrays support the ? operator to to match any element of the array, as in ApprovedBy ? '7c61626f-ddbe-41af-93f6-b69f4ab6d308'. Arrays can perform LEN() to check for length, as in LEN(ApprovedBy) > 0. An attribute naming a list of other entities can be filtered on their attributes with a * segment, as in FromLink.*.Slug = 'upgrade-app', which holds when any element satisfies it. Without the * such a reference is an error, since it names no single value to compare. Map support the dot notation to specify a particular map key, as in Labels.tier = 'Backend'. Maps support IS NULL and IS NOT NULL with dot notation to check for key absence or presence, as in Labels.tier IS NULL (key doesn't exist) or Labels.tier IS NOT NULL (key exists). Comparison results can be tested with IS TRUE, IS FALSE, IS NOT TRUE, and IS NOT FALSE. These are useful for nullable columns: MergeSourceID = '<uuid>' IS NOT FALSE matches rows where MergeSourceID equals the value OR is NULL. The IN and NOT IN operators accept a comma-separated list of values in parentheses, such as Slug IN ('slugone', 'slugtwo') or Labels.environment IN ('prod', 'staging'). Conjunctions are supported using the AND operator. An example conjunction is: CreatedAt >= '2025-01-07' AND Slug = 'test' AND Labels.mykey = 'myvalue'. Supported attributes for filtering on Mutation: BridgeWorkerID, CreatedAt, FunctionName, InvocationID, InvocationParams, LinkID, MergeBaseRevisionNum, MergeEndRevisionNum, MergeSourceID, MutationID, MutationNum, OrganizationID, ReplayOutcome, ReplayReason, RestoredRevisionNum, RevisionID, RevisionNum, SpaceID, Subgroup, TriggerID, UnitID, UpdatedAt, UpgradedFromUpstreamRevisionNum. Selects Mutations of this Unit whose paths the merge must not overwrite, unioned with the Protected values stored on the Unit's MutationSources. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
filter_mutation |
string | UUID of a Filter entity to apply to the Mutation list. The Filter must be in the same Organization as the user credentials. The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Mutation). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID. The Filter's Where clause will be combined with any explicit 'where' parameter using AND logic. If both 'filter' and 'where' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. | |
tag |
string | Tag ID to add to the head revision | |
change_set_id |
string | Must match ChangeSetID of affected Units if config Data is changed unless in dry run mode | |
change_order |
string | ChangeOrder to promote, with upgrade or resolve, or to undo, with restore. The change order fixed the range when it was created -- the interval on each source Unit, marked with its Tags -- so it supplies both ends of the merge and merge_end is refused alongside it. A Unit whose source the change order does not cover is passed over rather than failed, which is what lets a bulk upgrade name a whole Space and take only the Units the change is in. A Unit whose last merged revision is not where the change order starts is an error, since merging anyway would replay what it already has or skip what it does not, and with resolve a selected Link whose UpdateType the change order does not follow is an error too. The revisions the promotion creates carry the ChangeOrder, and its start Tag is placed on the revision before them and its end Tag on the one it arrives at, so 'restore Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' undoes it whether it landed as one revision or as one per source revision. With restore the change order is being undone rather than promoted: the restore must be 'Before:ChangeOrder:' the same change order, the change order must have an AbortedReason -- undoing a change nobody has said is not coming is a race with whoever is still promoting it -- and a Unit the change order never marked is an error rather than passed over, since naming it says the Unit is part of the undoing. The first restore mints the change order's restore Tag and records it as RestoreTagID; every restore after that marks with the same Tag, which is what RestoredSpaceIDs is read off. A Unit the change order carried nothing for takes the restore Tag on the revision its start and end Tags are already on, and no revision is made. A Unit already carrying the restore Tag has had the change order taken back out of it and is passed over, since undoing one in a Unit happens once as promoting it into one does -- so the revisions a Unit has taken since it was undone are its own work rather than this undoing's to drop. Restoring also advances the merge pointers of the Links of the change order's UpdateType that follow the restored Unit onto the revision the restore made, so a later upgrade does not replay the change that was just taken out; the downstream Units are not restored with it, since each has to be restored and released on its own account. | |
subgroup |
string | User-defined category for the Mutation. Must be alphanumeric, at most 64 characters. The prefix 'ConfigHub' is reserved. | |
include |
string | Comma-separated parts of the result to return in addition to the Unit: ConfigData for the configuration the operation produced, and MutationSources for what set each value in it. Neither is a field of a Unit, and both cost something to return, so they are returned only when named. A dry run stores nothing, so this is the only way to see what it would have produced. |

Query Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
revision_id |
string | Unique identifier for a revision_id | |
dry_run |
boolean | Dry run mode: return changed unit(s) but don't update configuration data | |
protect |
boolean | Record the paths this operation writes as protected local overrides, so a later merge from upstream does not overwrite them. Without it the operation claims nothing: each written path keeps whatever the Unit already has for it, and a path with no history is left unprotected. It only ever adds protection -- re-opening a path is the /protection API (cub unit set-protection --unprotect). Has no effect with restore, which rewinds MutationSources to the restored Revision's stored values wholesale. | |
clearance |
string | The classes of guarded reason this operation is cleared for, as a JSON Clearance -- a list of {Key, Operator, Values} requirements, where Operator is Exists, In, NotIn, or DoesNotExist. A path whose guards this does not cover is not written, and the withheld change is reported as a Guarded conflict. An absent or empty clearance clears nothing, which only matters for a Unit that has guards. | |
guards |
string | The guards this operation records on the paths it writes, as a JSON object of guard key to value -- the reasons those paths hold what they hold, so a later operation must be cleared for them before overwriting. The guard analogue of protect: protect claims the paths, this says why. It only ever adds and overwrites the keys it names -- retiring a guard is the /guard API (cub unit set-guard --remove-guard). | |
squash |
boolean | Merge the range as one rebased diff and record it as one Revision, instead of walking it. By default a merge replays: it takes the source's Revisions in order and, where a Revision records function invocations that can be re-executed, runs them against this Unit rather than rebasing their recorded paths onto it -- so a change lands where this Unit's own structure puts it -- and records each source Revision that has an effect here as a Revision of its own, carrying that Revision's change description, its own conflicts, and one Mutation per source Mutation. Squashing gives up both: the range arrives as a single rebased patch in a single Revision, which is what a merge did before replay existed. Accepted with upgrade, merge_source, and resolve of an UpgradeUnit or MergeUnits Link, and refused elsewhere, since there is no range to walk. A Link can ask for it standingly with its Squash field. | |
upgrade |
boolean | Upgrade the unit to the latest version of its upstream unit | |
restore |
string | Restore revision source. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
resolve |
string | Resolve Links from this (downstream) Unit to another (upstream) Unit, propagating what each Link's UpdateType says to propagate. Expects Link:, Link: |
|
merge_source |
string | Merge source unit. Currently it must be a unit ID or 'Self'. | |
merge_base |
string | Merge base revision, which provides the base configuration data of the changes to merge. With merge_source, this is a revision of the merge source unit. With merge_external_source, this is a revision of the unit being updated and overrides the default selection of the latest MergeExternal revision. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
merge_end |
string | Merge end revision of the merge source, which provides the final configuration of the changes to merge. Also accepted with upgrade and with resolve, where it names how far along the source to take the propagation; the default there is the source's head. Naming a ChangeSet or Tag that ends a change is what leaves a change still being made at the source behind. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
merge_external_source |
string | Identifier of the external source for merge-on-update. When set, computes mutations between the last MergeExternal revision and the provided data, then patches the current unit data with those mutations. | |
merge_enable_subtraction |
boolean | Enable the subtraction (override-preservation) step of upgrade and merge_source. By default (false), the source patch is applied without subtraction and the target's local differences are preserved by the stored Mutation Protected values; set true to additionally subtract the target's local differences from the source patch. Has no effect on a self merge (merge_source=Self), where subtraction is always disabled. | |
where_mutation |
string | The specified string is an expression for the purpose of filtering the list of Mutations returned. The expression syntax was inspired by SQL. It supports conjunctions using AND of relational expressions of the form attribute operator attribute_or_literal. The attribute names are case-sensitive and PascalCase, as in the JSON encoding. Strings support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, ~*, !~, !~*, IN, NOT IN. String pattern operators: LIKE and ~~ for pattern matching with % and _ wildcards, ILIKE for case-insensitive pattern matching, NOT LIKE and !~~ for negated pattern matching. String regex operators: ~ for regex matching, ~* for case-insensitive regex, !~ and !~* for regex not matching (case-sensitive and insensitive). Integers support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, IN, NOT IN. UUIDs and boolean attributes support equality and inequality only. UUID and time literals must be quoted as string literals. String literals are quoted with single quotes, such as 'string'. Time literals use the same form as when serialized as JSON, such as: CreatedAt > '2025-02-18T23:16:34'. Integer and boolean literals are also supported for attributes of those types. Arrays support the ? operator to to match any element of the array, as in ApprovedBy ? '7c61626f-ddbe-41af-93f6-b69f4ab6d308'. Arrays can perform LEN() to check for length, as in LEN(ApprovedBy) > 0. An attribute naming a list of other entities can be filtered on their attributes with a * segment, as in FromLink.*.Slug = 'upgrade-app', which holds when any element satisfies it. Without the * such a reference is an error, since it names no single value to compare. Map support the dot notation to specify a particular map key, as in Labels.tier = 'Backend'. Maps support IS NULL and IS NOT NULL with dot notation to check for key absence or presence, as in Labels.tier IS NULL (key doesn't exist) or Labels.tier IS NOT NULL (key exists). Comparison results can be tested with IS TRUE, IS FALSE, IS NOT TRUE, and IS NOT FALSE. These are useful for nullable columns: MergeSourceID = '<uuid>' IS NOT FALSE matches rows where MergeSourceID equals the value OR is NULL. The IN and NOT IN operators accept a comma-separated list of values in parentheses, such as Slug IN ('slugone', 'slugtwo') or Labels.environment IN ('prod', 'staging'). Conjunctions are supported using the AND operator. An example conjunction is: CreatedAt >= '2025-01-07' AND Slug = 'test' AND Labels.mykey = 'myvalue'. Supported attributes for filtering on Mutation: BridgeWorkerID, CreatedAt, FunctionName, InvocationID, InvocationParams, LinkID, MergeBaseRevisionNum, MergeEndRevisionNum, MergeSourceID, MutationID, MutationNum, OrganizationID, ReplayOutcome, ReplayReason, RestoredRevisionNum, RevisionID, RevisionNum, SpaceID, Subgroup, TriggerID, UnitID, UpdatedAt, UpgradedFromUpstreamRevisionNum. Selects Mutations of this Unit whose paths the merge must not overwrite, unioned with the Protected values stored on the Unit's MutationSources. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
filter_mutation |
string | UUID of a Filter entity to apply to the Mutation list. The Filter must be in the same Organization as the user credentials. The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Mutation). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID. The Filter's Where clause will be combined with any explicit 'where' parameter using AND logic. If both 'filter' and 'where' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. | |
tag |
string | Tag ID to add to the head revision | |
change_set_id |
string | Must match ChangeSetID of affected Units if config Data is changed unless in dry run mode | |
change_order |
string | ChangeOrder to promote, with upgrade or resolve, or to undo, with restore. The change order fixed the range when it was created -- the interval on each source Unit, marked with its Tags -- so it supplies both ends of the merge and merge_end is refused alongside it. A Unit whose source the change order does not cover is passed over rather than failed, which is what lets a bulk upgrade name a whole Space and take only the Units the change is in. A Unit whose last merged revision is not where the change order starts is an error, since merging anyway would replay what it already has or skip what it does not, and with resolve a selected Link whose UpdateType the change order does not follow is an error too. The revisions the promotion creates carry the ChangeOrder, and its start Tag is placed on the revision before them and its end Tag on the one it arrives at, so 'restore Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' undoes it whether it landed as one revision or as one per source revision. With restore the change order is being undone rather than promoted: the restore must be 'Before:ChangeOrder:' the same change order, the change order must have an AbortedReason -- undoing a change nobody has said is not coming is a race with whoever is still promoting it -- and a Unit the change order never marked is an error rather than passed over, since naming it says the Unit is part of the undoing. The first restore mints the change order's restore Tag and records it as RestoreTagID; every restore after that marks with the same Tag, which is what RestoredSpaceIDs is read off. A Unit the change order carried nothing for takes the restore Tag on the revision its start and end Tags are already on, and no revision is made. A Unit already carrying the restore Tag has had the change order taken back out of it and is passed over, since undoing one in a Unit happens once as promoting it into one does -- so the revisions a Unit has taken since it was undone are its own work rather than this undoing's to drop. Restoring also advances the merge pointers of the Links of the change order's UpdateType that follow the restored Unit onto the revision the restore made, so a later upgrade does not replay the change that was just taken out; the downstream Units are not restored with it, since each has to be restored and released on its own account. | |

Conjunctions are supported using the AND operator. An example conjunction is: CreatedAt >= '2025-01-07' AND Slug = 'test' AND Labels.mykey = 'myvalue'. Supported attributes for filtering on Unit: Annotations, ApplyGates, ApplyWarnings, ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, Conflicts, CreatedAt, DataHash, DeleteGates, DestroyGates, DisplayName, FromLinkID, HeadRevisionNum, HeadUnitActionNum, HeadUnitEventNum, Labels, LastActionAt, LastChangeDescription, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, ProviderType, Slug, SpaceID, TargetID, TargetOptions, ToolchainType, UnitID, UpdatedAt, UpstreamRevisionNum, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID, Values. Finding all units created by cloning can be done using the expression UpstreamRevisionNum > 0. Clones of a specific unit can be found by additionally filtering based on UpstreamUnitID. Unapplied units can be found using LastReleasedRevisionNum = 0. Units with unapplied changes can be found with HeadRevisionNum > LastReleasedRevisionNum. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
filter |
string | UUID of a Filter entity to apply to the Unit list. The Filter must be in the same Organization as the user credentials. The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Unit). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID. The Filter's Where clause will be combined with any explicit 'where' parameter using AND logic. If both 'filter' and 'where' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. | |
contains |
string | Free text search that approximately matches the specified string against string fields and map keys/values. The search is case-insensitive and uses pattern matching to find entities containing the text. Searchable string fields include attributes like Slug, DisplayName, and string-typed custom fields. For map fields (like Labels and Annotations), the search matches both map keys and values. The search uses OR logic across all searchable fields, so matching any field will return the entity. If both 'where' and 'contains' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. Searchable fields for Unit include string and map-type attributes from the queryable attributes list. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
include |
string | Include clause for expanding related entities in the response for Unit. The attribute names are case-sensitive, PascalCase, and expected in a comma-separated list format as in the JSON encoding. Supported attributes for Unit are ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, FromLinkID, HeadMutationNum, HeadRevisionNum, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, SpaceID, TargetID, UnitEventID, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |

boolean | Merge the range as one rebased diff and record it as one Revision, instead of walking it. By default a merge replays: it takes the source's Revisions in order and, where a Revision records function invocations that can be re-executed, runs them against this Unit rather than rebasing their recorded paths onto it -- so a change lands where this Unit's own structure puts it -- and records each source Revision that has an effect here as a Revision of its own, carrying that Revision's change description, its own conflicts, and one Mutation per source Mutation. Squashing gives up both: the range arrives as a single rebased patch in a single Revision, which is what a merge did before replay existed. Accepted with upgrade, merge_source, and resolve of an UpgradeUnit or MergeUnits Link, and refused elsewhere, since there is no range to walk. A Link can ask for it standingly with its Squash field. | |
upgrade |
boolean | Upgrade the unit to the latest version of its upstream unit | |
restore |
string | Restore revision source. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
resolve |
string | Resolve Links from this (downstream) Unit to another (upstream) Unit, propagating what each Link's UpdateType says to propagate. Expects Link:, Link: |
|
merge_source |
string | Merge source unit. Currently it must be a unit ID or 'Self'. | |
merge_base |
string | Merge base revision, which provides the base configuration data of the changes to merge. With merge_source, this is a revision of the merge source unit. With merge_external_source, this is a revision of the unit being updated and overrides the default selection of the latest MergeExternal revision. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
merge_end |
string | Merge end revision of the merge source, which provides the final configuration of the changes to merge. Also accepted with upgrade and with resolve, where it names how far along the source to take the propagation; the default there is the source's head. Naming a ChangeSet or Tag that ends a change is what leaves a change still being made at the source behind. Supports: Named revisions ('HeadRevisionNum', 'LastReleasedRevisionNum'), direct revision number (e.g., '42'), or entity references ('Tag:uuid', 'ChangeSet:uuid', 'ChangeOrder:uuid', 'Revision:uuid'). Can be prefixed with 'Before:' to select the revision immediately before the specified one (e.g., 'Before:LastReleasedRevisionNum', 'Before:42'). When using Tag or ChangeSet references, the latest revision associated with that entity is selected. 'ChangeOrder:uuid' selects the revision the change order ended at on this Unit and 'Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' the one before it began, which is what undoes a promotion however many revisions it made. | |
merge_external_source |
string | Identifier of the external source for merge-on-update. When set, computes mutations between the last MergeExternal revision and the provided data, then patches the current unit data with those mutations. | |
merge_enable_subtraction |
boolean | Enable the subtraction (override-preservation) step of upgrade and merge_source. By default (false), the source patch is applied without subtraction and the target's local differences are preserved by the stored Mutation Protected values; set true to additionally subtract the target's local differences from the source patch. Has no effect on a self merge (merge_source=Self), where subtraction is always disabled. | |
where_mutation |
string | The specified string is an expression for the purpose of filtering the list of Mutations returned. The expression syntax was inspired by SQL. It supports conjunctions using AND of relational expressions of the form attribute operator attribute_or_literal. The attribute names are case-sensitive and PascalCase, as in the JSON encoding. Strings support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, ~*, !~, !~*, IN, NOT IN. String pattern operators: LIKE and ~~ for pattern matching with % and _ wildcards, ILIKE for case-insensitive pattern matching, NOT LIKE and !~~ for negated pattern matching. String regex operators: ~ for regex matching, ~* for case-insensitive regex, !~ and !~* for regex not matching (case-sensitive and insensitive). Integers support the following operators: <, >, <=, >=, =, !=, IN, NOT IN. UUIDs and boolean attributes support equality and inequality only. UUID and time literals must be quoted as string literals. String literals are quoted with single quotes, such as 'string'. Time literals use the same form as when serialized as JSON, such as: CreatedAt > '2025-02-18T23:16:34'. Integer and boolean literals are also supported for attributes of those types. Arrays support the ? operator to to match any element of the array, as in ApprovedBy ? '7c61626f-ddbe-41af-93f6-b69f4ab6d308'. Arrays can perform LEN() to check for length, as in LEN(ApprovedBy) > 0. An attribute naming a list of other entities can be filtered on their attributes with a * segment, as in FromLink.*.Slug = 'upgrade-app', which holds when any element satisfies it. Without the * such a reference is an error, since it names no single value to compare. Map support the dot notation to specify a particular map key, as in Labels.tier = 'Backend'. Maps support IS NULL and IS NOT NULL with dot notation to check for key absence or presence, as in Labels.tier IS NULL (key doesn't exist) or Labels.tier IS NOT NULL (key exists). Comparison results can be tested with IS TRUE, IS FALSE, IS NOT TRUE, and IS NOT FALSE. These are useful for nullable columns: MergeSourceID = '<uuid>' IS NOT FALSE matches rows where MergeSourceID equals the value OR is NULL. The IN and NOT IN operators accept a comma-separated list of values in parentheses, such as Slug IN ('slugone', 'slugtwo') or Labels.environment IN ('prod', 'staging'). Conjunctions are supported using the AND operator. An example conjunction is: CreatedAt >= '2025-01-07' AND Slug = 'test' AND Labels.mykey = 'myvalue'. Supported attributes for filtering on Mutation: BridgeWorkerID, CreatedAt, FunctionName, InvocationID, InvocationParams, LinkID, MergeBaseRevisionNum, MergeEndRevisionNum, MergeSourceID, MutationID, MutationNum, OrganizationID, ReplayOutcome, ReplayReason, RestoredRevisionNum, RevisionID, RevisionNum, SpaceID, Subgroup, TriggerID, UnitID, UpdatedAt, UpgradedFromUpstreamRevisionNum. Selects Mutations of this Unit whose paths the merge must not overwrite, unioned with the Protected values stored on the Unit's MutationSources. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
filter_mutation |
string | UUID of a Filter entity to apply to the Mutation list. The Filter must be in the same Organization as the user credentials. The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Mutation). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID. The Filter's Where clause will be combined with any explicit 'where' parameter using AND logic. If both 'filter' and 'where' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. | |
tag |
string | Tag ID to add to the head revision | |
change_set_id |
string | Must match ChangeSetID of affected Units if config Data is changed unless in dry run mode | |
change_order |
string | ChangeOrder to promote, with upgrade or resolve, or to undo, with restore. The change order fixed the range when it was created -- the interval on each source Unit, marked with its Tags -- so it supplies both ends of the merge and merge_end is refused alongside it. A Unit whose source the change order does not cover is passed over rather than failed, which is what lets a bulk upgrade name a whole Space and take only the Units the change is in. A Unit whose last merged revision is not where the change order starts is an error, since merging anyway would replay what it already has or skip what it does not, and with resolve a selected Link whose UpdateType the change order does not follow is an error too. The revisions the promotion creates carry the ChangeOrder, and its start Tag is placed on the revision before them and its end Tag on the one it arrives at, so 'restore Before:ChangeOrder:uuid' undoes it whether it landed as one revision or as one per source revision. With restore the change order is being undone rather than promoted: the restore must be 'Before:ChangeOrder:' the same change order, the change order must have an AbortedReason -- undoing a change nobody has said is not coming is a race with whoever is still promoting it -- and a Unit the change order never marked is an error rather than passed over, since naming it says the Unit is part of the undoing. The first restore mints the change order's restore Tag and records it as RestoreTagID; every restore after that marks with the same Tag, which is what RestoredSpaceIDs is read off. A Unit the change order carried nothing for takes the restore Tag on the revision its start and end Tags are already on, and no revision is made. A Unit already carrying the restore Tag has had the change order taken back out of it and is passed over, since undoing one in a Unit happens once as promoting it into one does -- so the revisions a Unit has taken since it was undone are its own work rather than this undoing's to drop. Restoring also advances the merge pointers of the Links of the change order's UpdateType that follow the restored Unit onto the revision the restore made, so a later upgrade does not replay the change that was just taken out; the downstream Units are not restored with it, since each has to be restored and released on its own account. | |
subgroup |
string | User-defined category for the Mutation. Must be alphanumeric, at most 64 characters. The prefix 'ConfigHub' is reserved. |

Conjunctions are supported using the AND operator. An example conjunction is: CreatedAt >= '2025-01-07' AND Slug = 'test' AND Labels.mykey = 'myvalue'. Supported attributes for filtering on Unit: Annotations, ApplyGates, ApplyWarnings, ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, Conflicts, CreatedAt, DataHash, DeleteGates, DestroyGates, DisplayName, FromLinkID, HeadRevisionNum, HeadUnitActionNum, HeadUnitEventNum, Labels, LastActionAt, LastChangeDescription, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, ProviderType, Slug, SpaceID, TargetID, TargetOptions, ToolchainType, UnitID, UpdatedAt, UpstreamRevisionNum, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID, Values. Finding all units created by cloning can be done using the expression UpstreamRevisionNum > 0. Clones of a specific unit can be found by additionally filtering based on UpstreamUnitID. Unapplied units can be found using LastReleasedRevisionNum = 0. Units with unapplied changes can be found with HeadRevisionNum > LastReleasedRevisionNum. The whole string must be query-encoded. |
|
filter |
string | UUID of a Filter entity to apply to the Unit list. The Filter must be in the same Organization as the user credentials. The Filter's From field must match the entity type being filtered (Unit). For Space-resident entities, if the Filter has a FromSpaceID, it must match the operation's SpaceID. The Filter's Where clause will be combined with any explicit 'where' parameter using AND logic. If both 'filter' and 'where' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. | |
contains |
string | Free text search that approximately matches the specified string against string fields and map keys/values. The search is case-insensitive and uses pattern matching to find entities containing the text. Searchable string fields include attributes like Slug, DisplayName, and string-typed custom fields. For map fields (like Labels and Annotations), the search matches both map keys and values. The search uses OR logic across all searchable fields, so matching any field will return the entity. If both 'where' and 'contains' parameters are specified, they are combined with AND logic. Searchable fields for Unit include string and map-type attributes from the queryable attributes list. The whole string must be query-encoded. | |
include |
string | Include clause for expanding related entities in the response for Unit. The attribute names are case-sensitive, PascalCase, and expected in a comma-separated list format as in the JSON encoding. Supported attributes for Unit are ApprovedBy, BridgeWorkerID, ChangeSetID, FromLinkID, HeadMutationNum, HeadRevisionNum, LastReleasedRevisionNum, OrganizationID, SpaceID, TargetID, UnitEventID, UpstreamSpaceID, UpstreamUnitID. The whole string must be query-encoded. |

Unit
Unit is the core unit of operation in ConfigHub. It contains a blob of configuration Data of a single supported Toolchain Type (configuration format). This blob is typically a text document that contains a collection of Kubernetes or infrastructure resources, or an application configuration file. Applying / deploying or destroying the configuration happens as a single transaction from ConfigHub's perspective. In reality, it is most often a multi-step workflow performed by the underlying configuration / deployment tool. The resources must belong to a single infrastructure provider and the actuation mechanism must be able to resolve references and ordering dependencies among the resources within the document. For example, if one resource needs to be fully provisioned to provide input to another resource, then the actuation code is responsible for handling this. Revisions store historical copies of the configuration data. Configuration data can be restored from prior Revisions. Units can also be cloned to create new variants of a configuration.
