Using Python API
================
Python bindings to the OpenStack Monasca API
============================================
This is a client for the OpenStack Monasca API. It includes a Python
API (the :mod:`monascaclient` module) and a command-line script
(installed as :program:`monasca`).
Python API
==========
To use python-monascaclient in a project, you need to create a client instance
first. There are couple ways of doing this properly.
With session
------------
A pseudo-code would be similar to this::
from keystoneauth1 import identity
from keystoneauth1 import session
from monascaclient import client
auth = identity.Password(
auth_url='http://my.keystone.com/identity',
username='mini-mon',
password='password',
project_name='mini-mon',
user_domain_id='default',
project_domain_id='default'
)
sess = session.Session(auth=auth)
endpoint = 'http://monasca:8070/v2.0'
api_version = '2_0'
c = client.Client(
api_version=api_version,
endpoint=endpoint,
session=sess
)
c.alarms.list()
For more information on keystoneauth API, see `Using Sessions`_. We also
suggest taking closer look at `Keystone Auth Plugins`_. Each of the plugin
can be used to properly instantiate new session and pass it into the client.
.. note:: This is recommended way to setup a client.
Other cases, described below, create sessions internally.
Without session
---------------
If you do not want to use a session or simply prefer client to instantiate
one on its own, there are two supported ways
With token
~~~~~~~~~~
A pseudo-code would be similar to this::
from monascaclient import client
c = client.Client(
api_version='2_0',
endpoint='http://monasca:8070/v2.0',
token='3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155',
project_name='mini-mon',
auth_url='http://my.keystone.com/identity'
)
c.alarms.list()
With username & password
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A pseudo-code would be similar to this::
from monascaclient import client
c = client.Client(
api_version='2_0',
endpoint='http://monasca:8070/v2.0',
username='mini-mon',
password='password',
project_name='mini-mon',
auth_url='http://my.keystone.com/identity'
)
c.alarms.list()
