      An Application Programming Interface (API) key is a unique identifier. 

      The API Key must be provided as X-BRONTO-API-KEY in headers for the
      request to be authenticated 

      and authorized by the API server according to the API Key's role. For
      further information about

  - name: context
    description: >
      Context is a REST API resource that allows the retrieval of a specified
      number of log events (default of 100) around 

      a log event of interest, e.g. when a number of log events were returned by
      a previous query and you then decide you 

      want to see the 50 log events before one of those returned log events. Log
      events can be retrieved either before, 

      after, or both before and after the specified log event.
  - name: exports
    description: >
      The Bronto Export API allows you to efficiently download large volumes of
      log data for further analysis.

      The data to be exported can be filtered by entering the search parameters
      \"from\", \"where\" and \"time_range\" as

      per a normal query in the \"search_details\" object.


      To export data the following steps are required:

      1. Create an export using a POST request, which will return an
      \"export_id\", \"status\" and \"progress\".

      2. Use the export id to get the status of the export task by sending a GET
      request,

      which will return \"status\" and \"progress\" with a value of percentage
      completed. When the export is

      completed, the \"status\" will be \"COMPLETE\"

      3. Once the export task has completed you can download your data using
      curl (or similar)

      from the \"location\" URL returned in the GET response.
  - name: collections
    description: >
      Collections group datasets together. Each collection contains one or more
      datasets.
  - name: datasets
    description: >
      Datasets are a sequence of timestamped log events. Datasets can be
      searched to view events matching a filter

      or to perform statistical functions on matching events.

  - name: search
    description: >
      The REST API for searching data uses queries based on a subset of SQL,
      with

      the syntax as per https://docs.bronto.io/query-syntax/overview
  - name: top-keys

      Top-Keys is a REST API resource that allows you to easily retrieve the top
      keys for a specific log.
  - name: usage
    description: >
      Usage is a REST API resource that allows you to easily track your Bronto
      usage by retrieving usage data relating 

      to data ingestion and amount of data searched, and allowing you to drill
      down for a specific dataset over a defined timeframe.
  - name: users
    description: >
      Users are given specific roles, where each role determines the user's
      permissions within the application. Those roles are as follows:

      - "Admin" role has permission for all actions on all entities in the
      application.

      - "Standard" role allows Read/Write and Delete actions on entities in
      non-sensitive areas of the application.

      - "ReadOnly" role allows only read actions and only on entities in
      non-sensitive areas of the application.
  - name: config_assistant

      The Config Assistant APIs provide endpoints for creating or modifying
      observability agent configurations.
  - name: patterns
    description: >
      Patterns return the Pattern IDs, templates, and source log ID for all logs
      matching the

      given search criteria.

            The ids of the logs to search separated by a colon (:). When an
            export is created using `from_expr`, the expression is resolved to
            concrete log ids and those ids are persisted in `from` for
            downstream export processing.
          example: >-

            (AND, OR), comparison operators (=, !=), and quoted string literals.
            When supplied during export creation, the expression is resolved
            once and the resulting log ids are stored in `from`.
