Error: API Metadata Page Returns 404

Symptom​

Accessing the Netwrix Change Tracker API Metadata page at https://<hub-address>/api/metadata returns a 404 error.

Cause​

The plugins.metadataenabled key in appSettings.config controls the API Metadata page. This key defaults to false, so the metadata page is unavailable until an administrator enables it.

Resolution​

  1. On the Netwrix Change Tracker Hub server, open the following file in a text editor:

    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Change Tracker Generation 7 (NetCore) Hub\Configs\appSettings.config

  2. Find the options.serviceStackPlugins.metadataenabled key and change its value from false to true.

  3. Save the file.

  4. Restart IIS.

https://<hub-address>/api/metadata now loads without a 404 error.

NOTE: The related options.serviceStackPlugins.swaggerenabled key controls the Swagger API documentation page in the same way. Enable it if you also need access to Swagger.
