NAME Opsview::REST - Interface to the Opsview REST API SYNOPSIS use Opsview::REST; my $ops = Opsview::REST->new( base_url => 'http://opsview.example.com/rest', user => 'username', pass => 'password', ); # Check status my $status = $ops->status( 'hostgroup', 'hostgroupid' => [1, 2], 'filter' => 'unhandled', ); # Configuration methods my $host1 = $ops->create_host( ip => '192.168.0.1', name => 'monitoring-slave', hostgroup => { name => 'Monitoring Servers' }, notification_period => { name => '24x7' }, ); $ops->clone_host( $host1->{object}->{id}, name => 'another-host', ip => '192.168.0.2', ); # Search methods support complex SQL::Abstract queries my $hosts = $ops->get_hosts( -or => [ name => { -like => '%.example.com' }, ip => { -like => '10.25.%' }, ], ); # Update several objects at once map { $_->{check_attempts} = 4 } @{ $hosts->{list} }; my $response = $ops->create_or_update_hosts($hosts->{list}); # ... or only one my $response = $ops->create_or_update_host( name => 'host1.example.com', snmp_version => '2c', ); # Reload after make changes in config $ops->reload; DESCRIPTION Opsview::REST is a set of modules to access the Opsview REST API, which is the recommended method for scripting configuration changes or any other form of integration since version 3.9.0 METHODS new Return an instance of the Opsview::REST. Required Arguments base_url Base url where the REST API resides. By default it is under "/rest". user Username to login as. Other Arguments pass auth_tkt Either the pass or the auth_tkt MUST be passed. It will die horribly if none of these are found. get($url) Makes a "GET" request to the API. The response is properly deserialized and returned as a Perl data structure. status( $endpoint, [ %args ] ) Convenience method to request the "status" part of the API. $endpoint is the endpoint to send the query to. %args is a hash which will get properly translated to URL arguments. More info: downtimes create_downtime( %args ) delete_downtime( [ %args ] ) Downtime related methods. More info: events( [ %args ] ) Get events. An event is considered to be either: * a host or service changing state * a host or service result during soft failures * a host or service in a failure state where 'alert every failure' is enabled More info: acknowledge( [ %args ] ) Acknowledge problems. More info: acknowledge_list Lists the problems which the current logged in user has permission to acknowledge. reload Initiates a synchronous reload. Be careful: if your opsview reload takes more than 60 seconds to run, this call will time out. The returned data contains the info of the reload. More info: reload_info Get status of reload. More info: recheck( [ %args ] ) Recheck services or hosts asynchronously. It returns info about the number of hosts and services that will be rechecked. More info: Config methods for single objects get_* create_* clone_* create_or_update_* delete_* This methods will be generated for the following types of objects: "contact", "role", "servicecheck", "hosttemplate", "attribute", "timeperiod", "hostgroup", "servicegroup", "notificationmethod", "hostcheckcommand", "keyword", "monitoringserver". They all except "create", require the object's id. Additionally, "create", "clone" and "create_or_update" accept a list of key-value pairs: my $host1 = $ops->create_host( name => 'host1', ip => '192.168.10.27', ); $ops->clone_host( $host1->{object}->{id}, name => 'host2', ip => '192.168.10.28', ); $host->delete($id); Config methods for multiple objects get_* create_* create_or_update_* This methods will be generated for the following types of objects: "contacts", "roles", "servicechecks", "hosttemplates", "attributes", "timeperiods", "hostgroups", "servicegroups", "notificationmethods", "hostcheckcommands", "keywords", "monitoringservers". "get" accepts complex queries in SQL::Abstract format. "create_or_update" is specially useful when you want to update several objects with a single call: # First get a list of objects you want to modify my $dbhosts = $ops->get_hosts( name => { -like => 'db%' }, ); # $dbhosts = { # summary => { ... }, # list => [ { name => 'db1.example.com , ... }, ... ], # }; # Modify them as you need map { $_->{check_attempts} = 4 } @{ $dbhosts->{list} }; # Make the call $ops->create_or_update($dbhosts->{list}); To know which fields are accepted for each type of object, the format of the responses, and additional info: SEE ALSO * * AUTHOR * Miquel Ruiz COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2012 by Miquel Ruiz.
