# Resource Collection

Use this section to provide a brief description for a resource collection. Use an endpoint to identify the collection. Also, add separate child topics to [describe properties](rest_api_properties.md) and [list operations](rest_api_endpoints.md) available for the collection.

::: tip

A resource is a combination of a product entity, its associated data and relations with other resources. REST API performs operations with resources and resource collections using standard HTTP methods. Each resource in a resource collection can be identified using its specific system ID.

:::

The section structure consists of the following elements:

1. **Collection URL** — the resource collection URL. 
2. **Collection representation** — an example of the resource collection representation.

::: dropdown
## Example

The `/FailoverPlans` resource collection represents all created failover plans. The collection includes resources that represent individual plans and have specific system IDs.

## Collection URL

The resource collection is located at the following URL:

```
https://<hostname>:<port>/v2/FailoverPlans
```

## Collection Representation
