XURI Format

Situate uses a special URI to identify resources.

asset://<asset-id>/<path>

endpoint://<endpoint-id>/<path>

If the resource resides on an asset, the URI will begin with "asset:" and befollowed by "//" and then the asset id (unique id not the name) of the asset. You can lookup the asset id in the properties view of the asset view.

If the resource resides on an endpoint, the URI will begin with "endpoint:" and befollowed by "//" and then the id of the endpoint.

After the "id", there is a "/" followed by the full path to the resource.

Windows Computers

Windows computers have an extra URI component. Immediately after the "asset:///" situate will place the drive or share name. For example, if the file exists on the C: drive, the URI might look like this:

asset://ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffff/C:/Program Files/Situate/Situate Agent/logs

Shares in UNC format look like this:

asset://ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffff/server/share/Program Files/Situate/Situate Agent/logs

where the share would be "\server\share"
