Motivation

When using the REST interface of the Router (WL#8965) the router application itself should expose itself:

• version that's running
• when it was started
• its identity

FR1

Router Version MUST be exposed via an REST endpoint

FR2

Uptime of the process MUST be expose via an REST endpoint

FR3

Using the router rest endpoint MUST require authentication

Implementation

• a new plugin rest_router
  • must be loaded to activate the URI
  • depends on rest_api (WL#8965)

Configuration Options

• require_realm, string, name of an authentication realm

Interface Spec

/router/status

• hostname: string, name of the host the application running on. May be empty if no hostname is configured.
• processId: integer, process id of the application
• productEdition: string, product edition (GPL, commercial, source ...)
• timeStarted: string (date-time), time the application was started
• version: string, version of the application e.g. "8.0.16"
