### Manage virtual machine (status)
To manage an virtual machine, there are two way: use MongoID or the long path.  
The first way is probably more efficient in a scripting/program system and the second way for human.
Indeed, it's just a wrapper.

First way:
```bash
# 1 - Get the last date
curl '/api/v1/static/dates/last' 
{"value": 1525013945}

# 2 - Get VM-ID
curl  'http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/static/instances/1525188197/Cluster_1/my_node/105'  
{"result": "OK", "value": [
 {"netin": 0,
  "name": "templatevm", 
  "type": "qemu", 
  "macaddr": ["BA:B6:C5:8C:F3:55"],
  "cluster": "Cluster_1", 
  "diskread": 0,
  "mem": 0, 
  "maxmem": 1073741824, 
  "_id": {"$oid": "5ae886660e8d893fd32734e8"}, 
  "disk": 0, 
  "node": "my_node",
  "netout": 0,
  "vmid": 105,
  "uptime": 0, 
  "uniqid": "1524672808.5396078_ULBPKPXZ",
  "template": "", 
  "diskwrite": 0, 
  "status": "stopped", 
  "cpu": 0, 
  "maxdisk": 53687091200,
  "date": 1525188197, 
  "cpus": 1, 
  "pid": null
 }
]}

# 3 - Action on VM
curl /api/v1/instance/id/5ae886660e8d893fd32734e8/status/start
{"result": "OK", "value": {"data": "UPID:sd-81592:00006C57:371A9F0B:5AE8884D:qmstart:105:api@pve:"}}%  
```

Second:
```bash
curl  'http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/static/instances/last/Cluster_1/my_node/510/stop' 
{'data': 'UPID:sd-81592:00003E35:379BC306:5AE9D2E7:qmstop:510:api@pve:'}%
```
