I am setting up a custom monitoring solution by getting the state of Clusters, Projects, Nodes, etc, using the API. I need a list of all possible return values for the state in the API. Does anyone have a compiled list? ---

They are a string instead of an enum so there is no explicit list of possible values; but the UI has a list that covers all the normal values (not per-type though): [https://github.com/rancher/ui/blob/abc39cda274070297bb4bbbd0edd098516006e2c/lib/shared/addon/mixins/cattle-transitioning-resource.js#L26-L235](https://github.com/rancher/ui/blob/abc39cda274070297bb4bbbd0edd098516006e2c/lib/shared/addon/mixins/cattle-transitioning-resource.js#L26-L235) ---

Thank you! 😃 I was able to take those values and incorporate them into my monitoring. ![Rancher Monitoring](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/suse/original/2X/9/9397ab948adfbb6d90e7c7a8b1c0f433a8541fd7.png)
