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.

    ua

      A user agent object can be provided here. It should be an HTTP::Tiny
      subclass.

 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-core:restapi:status

 downtimes

 create_downtime( %args )

 delete_downtime( [ %args ] )

    Downtime related methods.

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

 acknowledge( [ %args ] )

    Acknowledge problems.

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

 reload_info

    Get status of reload.

    More info:
    http://docs.opsview.com/doku.php?id=opsview-core: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.

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

 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});

    of the responses, and additional info:
