Adding a Zone using cURL

To add components through the REST API using cURL, the command should be specified in the following format:

curl --location --request POST "http://<eG Manager IP:Port>/api/eg/orchestration/addzone" -H "managerurl:http://<eG Manager IP:Port>" -H "user:<eG username or domain/eG username>" -H "pwd:Base64 encoded password" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-raw "{'zonename':'Zone name', 'elements':'comma-separated list of elements', 'displayimage':'Display image', 'autoassociate':'yes/no'}"

Note that the command specified above contains both the Default and Optional key values.
