Description

I could not get the creation of reporting tasks to work. I ultimately had to use the RESTful API ( https://github.com/phrocker/JangoWave/blob/master/deploy_reportingtask.py ) versus some of the utility functions available elsewhere.

What I Did

I tried creating reporting tasks and controller services.

Urgency

I don't see this as an urgent issue.

I'm sure I missed something while doing this work @Chaffelson . I didn't fully triage why the swagger function calls did not work; however, I'm happy to look into this further if you want to assign it to me.

To be fair I haven't done a lot with reporting tasks myself - mostly I've been digging through versioning and automated flow testing. If you want to take a run at this it would be very welcome :)

Hi @phrocker I have just merged some changes from @rsaggino to assist with managing Controller Services, though not specifically creating Reporting Tasks. Have you had any progress here or shall I take a run at it?

Hey @Chaffelson won't be able to look at this until next week after I finish some deliverables. You are welcome to take a look, of course, but if you aren't on it then i'll make a comment when I start to let you know that I've started. Thanks!
