NAME
Net::Intermapper::Map - Interface with the HelpSystems Intermapper HTTP API - Maps
SYNOPSIS
use Net::Intermapper;
my $intermapper = Net::Intermapper->new(hostname=>"10.0.0.1", username=>"admin", password=>"nmsadmin");
# Options:
# hostname - IP or hostname of Intermapper 5.x server
# username - Username of Administrator user
# password - Password of user
# ssl - SSL enabled (1 - default) or disabled (0)
# port - TCP port for querying information. Defaults to 8181
# modifyport - TCP port for modifying information. Default to 443
# cache - Boolean to enable smart caching or force network queries
my %users = $intermapper->users;
my $users_ref = $intermapper->users;
# Retrieve all users from Intermapper, Net::Intermapper::User instances
# Returns hash or hashref, depending on context
my %devices = $intermapper->devices;
my $devices_ref = $intermapper->devices;
# Retrieve all devices from Intermapper, Net::Intermapper::Device instances
# Returns hash or hashref, depending on context
my %maps = $intermapper->maps;
my $maps_ref = $intermapper->maps;
# Retrieve all maps from Intermapper, Net::Intermapper::Map instances
# Returns hash or hashref, depending on context
my %interfaces = $intermapper->interfaces;
my $interfaces_ref = $intermapper->interfaces;
# Retrieve all interfaces from Intermapper, Net::Intermapper::Interface instances
# Returns hash or hashref, depending on context
my %vertices = $intermapper->vertices;
my $vertices_ref = $intermapper->vertices;
# Retrieve all vertices from Intermapper, Net::Intermapper::Vertice instances
# Returns hash or hashref, depending on context
my $user = $intermapper->users->{"admin"};
print $user->header;
print $device->header;
print $map->header;
print $interface->header;
print $vertice->header;
# Generate 'directive' needed for manipulation. Mostly used internally.
# $user->mode("create"); # This changes the header fields
# $user->mode("update"); # This also changes the header fields
# Both are NOT needed when adding or updating a record
print $user->toTAB;
print $device->toXML;
print $map->toCSV;
# Works on ALL classes
# Produce human-readable output of each record.
my $user = Net::Intermapper::User->new(Name=>"testuser", Password=>"Test12345");
my $response = $intermapper->create($user);
# Create new user
# Return value is HTTP::Response object
my $device = Net::Intermapper::Device->new(Name=>"testDevice", MapName=>"TestMap", MapPath=>"/TestMap", Address=>"10.0.0.1");
my $response = $intermapper->create($device);
# Create new device
# Return value is HTTP::Response object
$user->Password("Foobar123");
my $response = $intermapper->update($user);
# Update existing user
# Return value is HTTP::Response object
my $user = $intermapper->users->{"bob"};
my $response = $intermapper->delete($user);
# Delete existing user
# Return value is HTTP::Response object
my $device = $intermapper->devices->{"UniqueDeviceID"};
my $response = $intermapper->delete($device);
# Delete existing device
# Return value is HTTP::Response object
my $users = { "Tom" => $tom_user, "Bob" => $bob_user };
$intermapper->users($users);
# At this point, there is no real reason to do this as update, create and delete work with explicit arguments.
# But it can be done with users, devices, interfaces, maps and vertices
# Pass a hashref to each method. This will NOT affect the smart-caching (only explicit calls to create, update and delete do this - for now).
DESCRIPTION
Net::Intermapper::Device is a perl wrapper around the HelpSystems Intermapper API provided through HTTP/HTTPS for access to map information.
All calls are handled through an instance of the Net::Intermapper class.
use Net::Intermapper;
my $intermapper = Net::Intermapper->new(hostname => '10.0.0.1', username => 'admin', password => 'nmsadmin');
USAGE
- new
-
Class constructor. Returns object of Net::Intermapper::Map on succes. Attributes are:
- MapId (read-only)
-
A unique, persistant identifier for this map instance.
- MapName (read-only). This value is used for lookups in the
users
method in Net::Intermapper. -
Name of the map.
- MapPath (read-only)
-
Full path of the map, including the name of the map.
- Status (read-only)
-
Status of the map (e.g. down, critical, alarm, warning, okay).
- DeviceCount (read-only)
-
Number of devices in the map.
- NetworkCount (read-only)
-
Number of networks in the map.
- InterfaceCount (read-only)
-
Number of interfaces in the map.
- DownCount (read-only)
-
Number of devices that are down.
- CriticalCount (read-only)
-
Number of devices in critical status.
- AlarmCount (read-only)
-
Number of devices in alarm status.
- WarningCount (read-only)
-
Number of devices in warning status.
- OkayCount (read-only)
-
Number of okay devices.
- DataRetentionPolicy (read-only)
-
Database retention policy.
- IMID (read-only)
-
Identifier of the map in the IMID format.
- Enabled (read-only)
-
True if the map is currently running.
- Layer2 (read-only)
-
True if the map is enabled for layer 2 polling.
- header
-
Returns the
directive
aka data header required by the Intermapper API to perform CRUD actions. This is handled through thecreate
,update
anddelete
method and should not really be used.
- toTAB
-
Returns the object data formatted in TAB delimited format. Used in combination with the
header
and theformat
method in Net::Intermapper to perform CRUD actions. This is handled through thecreate
,update
anddelete
method and should not really be used.
- toCSV
-
Returns the object data formatted in Comma Separated delimited format. Used in combination with the
header
and theformat
method in Net::Intermapper to perform CRUD actions. This is handled through thecreate
,update
anddelete
method and should not really be used.
- toXML
-
Returns the object data formatted in XML format. Used in combination with the
header
and theformat
method in Net::Intermapper to perform CRUD actions. This is handled through thecreate
,update
anddelete
method and should not really be used.
- mode
-
Internal method to properly format the data and header for CRUD actions. Typically not used.
- $ERROR
-
NEEDS TO BE ADDED
This variable will contain detailed error information.
REQUIREMENTS
For this library to work, you need an instance with Intermapper (obviously) or a simulator like Net::Intermapper::Mock.
