GlideSystemRunLevel- Global

The GlideSystemRunLevel API provides methods to get and set the current system run level.

Setting the system run level allows applications to change or limit their features based on operational toggles. For more information about using operational toggles, see Operational toggles.

The system run level can be set to one of the defined system run levels.

  • Fully Operational
  • Slightly Degraded
  • Moderately Degraded
  • Severely Degraded

The system run level set on one node is synchronized to all nodes in the instance.

The admin role is required to use this API.
