Programmatic gateway adoption

A Gateway can be programmatically adopted by calling the Defguard API. This is useful if you plan to add many Gateways and doing it one by one would be time-consuming.

Here is an example curl command that adopts a Gateway for a network with ID 42.

curl -X POST 'https://defguard.example.com/api/v1/network/42/gateways/adopt' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <your_api_token>' \
  -d '{
    "name": "prod-gateway-01",
    "ip_or_domain": "10.0.0.5",
    "grpc_port": 50066
  }'

Here, ip_or_domain is the address of the Gateway, and grpc_port is the Gateway gRPC port (50066 by default). To authorize the request, first obtain an API token and replace <your_api_token> with it.
