+Available methods
+-----------------
+
+You can navigate to the ``/doc`` endpoint for full list of available
+endpoints and HTTP methods implemented for each endpoint.
+
+For example, if you want to use the PATCH method of the ``/osd/<id>``
+endpoint to set the state ``up`` of the OSD id ``1``, you can use the
+following curl command::
+
+  echo -En '{"up": true}' | curl --request PATCH --data @- --silent --insecure --user <user> 'https://<ceph-mgr>:<port>/osd/1'
+
+or you can use python to do so::
+
+  $ python
+  >> import requests
+  >> result = requests.patch(
+         'https://<ceph-mgr>:<port>/osd/1',
+         json={"up": True},
+         auth=("<user>", "<password>")
+     )
+  >> print result.json()
+
+Some of the other endpoints implemented in the *restful* module include
+
+* ``/config/cluster``: **GET**
+* ``/config/osd``: **GET**, **PATCH**
+* ``/crush/rule``: **GET**
+* ``/mon``: **GET**
+* ``/osd``: **GET**
+* ``/pool``: **GET**, **POST**
+* ``/pool/<arg>``: **DELETE**, **GET**, **PATCH**
+* ``/request``: **DELETE**, **GET**, **POST**
+* ``/request/<arg>``: **DELETE**, **GET**
+* ``/server``: **GET**
+
+The ``/request`` endpoint
+-------------------------
+
+You can use the ``/request`` endpoint to poll the state of a request
+you scheduled with any **DELETE**, **POST** or **PATCH** method. These
+methods are by default asynchronous since it may take longer for them
+to finish execution. You can modify this behaviour by appending
+``?wait=1`` to the request url. The returned request will then always
+be completed.
+
+The **POST** method of the ``/request`` method provides a passthrough
+for the ceph mon commands as defined in ``src/mon/MonCommands.h``.
+Let's consider the following command::
+
+  COMMAND("osd ls " \
+          "name=epoch,type=CephInt,range=0,req=false", \
+          "show all OSD ids", "osd", "r", "cli,rest")
+
+The **prefix** is **osd ls**. The optional argument's name is **epoch**
+and it is of type ``CephInt``, i.e. ``integer``. This means that you
+need to do the following **POST** request to schedule the command::
+
+  $ python
+  >> import requests
+  >> result = requests.post(
+         'https://<ceph-mgr>:<port>/request',
+         json={'prefix': 'osd ls', 'epoch': 0},
+         auth=("<user>", "<password>")
+     )
+  >> print result.json()
