Zenoss::Router::Search(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Zenoss::Router::Search(3)

Zenoss::Router::Search - A JSON/ExtDirect interface to operations on searches

    use Zenoss;
    my $api = Zenoss->connect(
        {
            username    => 'zenoss username',
            password    => 'zenoss password',
            url         => 'http://zenossinstance:8080',
        }
    );

    my $response = $api->search_getAllResults(
        {
            query   => '10.10.10.1'
        }
    );

This module is NOT instantiated directly. To call methods from this module create an instance of Zenoss. This document serves as a resource of available Zenoss API calls to Zenoss.

Note, that use of this module is considered experimental! Zenoss hasn't documented these calls in the Public API JSON Docs, thus I've pieced together what I could from reading their code. Also, it would appear that this interface was meant to be used for the UI only as some of the attributes returned are formatted in HTML.

This module can be useful to search for meta information within a device. For example, I couldn't search for a specific interface (eth0) using the Zenoss::Router::Device module, but with Zenoss::Router::Search I can.

The following is a list of available methods available for interaction with the Zenoss API. Please take note of the argument requirements, defaults and return content.

The documentation for this module was mostly taken from the Zenoss JSON API docs. Keep in mind that their (Zenoss Monitoring System) programming is based around python, so descriptions such as dictionaries will be represented as hashes in Perl.
