Understanding the sample URL:

IP/HostName/TenantName: Replace with the actual IP address, hostname, or tenant name based on the specific configuration in AppViewX.
- IP: A unique identifier assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication
  The IP address will be included in the endpoint URL for an on-prem deployment.
- HostName: A human-readable label assigned to a device (host) on a network
  The hostname will be included in the endpoint URL for an on-prem deployment.
- TenantName: An identifier label for a tenant given to indicate which tenant's data the API request will access/modify
  The tenant name will be included in the endpoint URL for a SaaS deployment.
GWPORT: AppViewX gateway port
A gateway port refers to a network port through which data is sent and received to communicate with a gateway in an on-prem deployment.
Note: GWPORT is not required for SaaS setups.
Example: 31443
avxapi: Path parameter value (static) that is part of the endpoint's URL
Endpoint: Endpoint of the API, for example: /ssh/host/create
gwsource: Source or origin of a gateway, for example: external.
