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',
);

# These are equivalent
my $status = $ops->get('/status/hostgroup?hostgroupid=1&...');
my $status = $ops->status(
    'hostgroup',
    'hostgroupid' => [1, 2],
    'filter'      => 'unhandled',
    ...
);

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.

downtimes

create_downtime( %args )

delete_downtime( [ %args ] )

Downtime related methods.

More info: http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-community:restapi:downtimes

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: http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-community:restapi:event

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: http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-community:restapi#initiating_an_opsview_reload

reload_info

Get status of reload.
