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: http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-community:restapi:status
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
acknowledge( [ %args ] )
Acknowledge problems.
More info: http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-community:restapi:acknowledge
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: http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-community:restapi#initiating_an_opsview_reload
reload_info
Get status of reload.
More info: http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-community:restapi#initiating_an_opsview_reload
recheck( [ %args ] )
Recheck services or hosts asynchronously. It returns info about the number of hosts and services that will be rechecked.

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:
