# Get daemon by ID

`GET /api/v1/daemons/{id}`

Returns a specific daemon with computed version status.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Daemon found

- ApiResponseDaemonResponse
  - `data` object — Daemon response for UI including computed version status
    - `api_key_id` string, uuid, nullable — Foreign key to API key used for ServerPoll authentication. NULL for DaemonPoll daemons or those not yet linked to a key.
    - `host_id` string, uuid, required — The host this entity belongs to.
    - `is_unreachable` boolean — Whether the daemon is unreachable (for ServerPoll circuit breaker). Set to true after repeated polling failures, reset via retry-connection endpoint.
    - `last_seen` string, date-time, nullable — Timestamp of last successful contact with daemon. NULL for provisioned ServerPoll daemons that haven't been contacted yet.
    - `mode` 'server_poll' | 'daemon_poll', required — Daemon operating mode that determines the communication pattern. - **DaemonPoll** (formerly "Pull"): Daemon makes outbound connections to the server. The daemon registers itself and polls for work. Best for daemons behind NAT/firewall. - **ServerPoll** (formerly "Push"): Server makes connections to the daemon. Server polls daemon for status and discovery results. Best for DMZ deployments where daemon cannot make outbound connections.
    - `name` string, required — Human-facing name for this daemon.
    - `network_id` string, uuid, required — The network this entity belongs to.
    - `standby` boolean — Whether the daemon is on standby due to inactivity (no discovery in 30 days).
    - `standby_cleared_at` string, date-time, nullable — Timestamp of the most recent standby → active transition. Set by `process_startup` when a restarted daemon is un-standby'd, and by the discovery auto-wake path. The nightly inactivity check skips daemons within the grace window (see `STANDBY_GRACE_PERIOD_DAYS`) to prevent the "restart → cleared → re-standby'd before discovery runs" race.
    - `tags` string[], required — Tags assigned to this entity.
    - `url` string, uri, required — Address the *server* dials for a ServerPoll daemon. Editable (a daemon can move); unused and not editable for DaemonPoll, which dials out instead. Base URL the server reaches this daemon on.
    - `user_id` string, uuid, required — User responsible for maintaining this daemon
    - `version` string, nullable — Daemon software version (semver format)
    - `created_at` string, date-time, required — When this record was first created.
    - `id` string, uuid, required — Server-assigned unique identifier.
    - `interfaced_subnet_ids` string[], required — Subnets this daemon has interfaces on, loaded from the `daemon_interfaced_subnets` junction (replaces the old `capabilities.interfaced_subnet_ids` JSONB field).
    - `updated_at` string, date-time, required — When this record was last modified.
    - `version_status` DaemonVersionStatus, required — Daemon version status including health and any warnings
      - `has_correct_docker_volume_mount` boolean — Whether a containerized daemon is mounted so it can read the Docker socket.
      - `status` 'Current' | 'Outdated' | 'Deprecated' | 'Unsupported' | 'Unknown', required — Health status for daemon versions. Lifecycle order: `Current` → `Outdated` → `Deprecated` → `Unsupported`, with `Unknown` for daemons whose version the server has no record of.
      - `sunset_date` string, nullable — The date this daemon's version stops being supported, if a sunset is scheduled for it. Surfaced top-level (not only inside `warnings`) so the UI can render a countdown from the same value the email uses.
      - `supports_targeted_rescan` boolean — Whether this daemon can run a single-host rescan. Server-computed so the frontend never has to hardcode a version floor.
      - `supports_unified_discovery` boolean — Whether the daemon can run a combined discovery pass.
      - `version` string, nullable — Version the daemon reports.
      - `warnings` DeprecationWarning[] — Upgrade warnings that apply to this version.
        - `message` string, required — What the operator needs to do, and by when.
        - `severity` 'Info' | 'Warning' | 'Critical' | 'Unknown', required — Severity level for deprecation warnings
        - `sunset_date` string, nullable — Date after which this daemon version stops being supported.
  - `error` string, nullable — Human-readable failure message. Omitted on success.
  - `meta` ApiMeta, required — API metadata included in all responses
    - `api_version` integer, required — API version (integer, increments on breaking changes)
    - `server_version` string, required — Server version (semver)
  - `success` boolean, required — `true` when the request succeeded. `false` responses carry `error` instead of `data`.

## Other responses

- `403` — Access denied
- `404` — Daemon not found
