By default, all links created in the Resource Linkage Gadget are reciprocal. 

The Resource Linkage Gadget also provides information to the Linked IPs Gadget - Resources linked here will have their IP Block information displayed in the Linked IPs Gadget.

Resource Linkage - Linked IPs Gadget 

The Linked IPs Gadget lists IP blocks assigned to Resources linked under the Resource Linkage Gadget, with a link to the resource holder. 

Block information may be refreshed by clicking the "Reload" button to check for changes. 

Resource View

This Gadget is used on the Resource Holder Section type. The Resource view displays and provides links for the Section and Category for the Resource.

Reverse API Console

The Reverse API Console Gadget allows you to add endpoints from a Resource Entry page, and view customizable javascript displays set for the selected endpoint. The Reverse API Console may be added to any type of Section / Resource, and must be enabled for a Resource for certain rAPI processes to successfully complete. 

After adding the gadget to a section, the Reverse API console will appear as whitespace with the option to add an endpoint display. Endpoints must already be created via rAPI or through the Admin Reverse API interface in ProVision to be selectable via the gadget.

Selecting an Endpoint and clicking "Add" will allow the javascript display code (added via rAPI or the Admin Reverse API interface) associated with that endpoint to display on the Resource Entry page.  

An example display might be integrating Observium to display server status modules and alerts for Resources with the "Server" Section:

As a completely customizable area, displays can be designed to meet individual Resource needs - create charts, alerts, command buttons, or any other type of data that you wish to view.
