watcherclient Python API
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
The watcherclient python API lets you access watcher, the OpenStack
|
|
TODEFINE Service.
|
|
|
|
For example, to manipulate audits, you interact with an `watcherclient.v1.audit`_ object.
|
|
You obtain access to audits via attributes of the `watcherclient.v1.client.Client`_ object.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Get a Client object
|
|
-------------------
|
|
First, create an `watcherclient.v1.client.Client`_ instance by passing your
|
|
credentials to `watcherclient.client.get_client()`_. By default, the
|
|
Watcher system is configured so that only administrators (users with
|
|
'admin' role) have access.
|
|
|
|
There are two different sets of credentials that can be used::
|
|
|
|
* watcher endpoint and auth token
|
|
* Identity Service (keystone) credentials
|
|
|
|
Using watcher endpoint and auth token
|
|
.....................................
|
|
|
|
An auth token and the watcher endpoint can be used to authenticate::
|
|
|
|
* os_auth_token: authentication token (from Identity Service)
|
|
* watcher_url: watcher API endpoint, eg http://watcher.example.org:9322/v1
|
|
|
|
To create the client, you can use the API like so::
|
|
|
|
>>> from watcherclient import client
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> kwargs = {'os_auth_token': '3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155'
|
|
>>> 'watcher_url': 'http://watcher.example.org:9322/'}
|
|
>>> watcher = client.get_client(1, **kwargs)
|
|
|
|
Using Identity Service (keystone) credentials
|
|
.............................................
|
|
|
|
These Identity Service credentials can be used to authenticate::
|
|
|
|
* os_username: name of user
|
|
* os_password: user's password
|
|
* os_auth_url: Identity Service endpoint for authorization
|
|
* os_tenant_{name|id}: name or ID of tenant
|
|
|
|
To create a client, you can use the API like so::
|
|
|
|
>>> from watcherclient import client
|
|
>>>
|
|
>>> kwargs = {'os_username': 'name',
|
|
>>> 'os_password': 'password',
|
|
>>> 'os_auth_url': 'http://keystone.example.org:5000/',
|
|
>>> 'os_tenant_name': 'tenant'}
|
|
>>> watcher = client.get_client(1, **kwargs)
|
|
|
|
Perform watcher operations
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once you have an watcher `Client`_, you can perform various tasks::
|
|
|
|
>>> watcher.action.list() # list of actions
|
|
>>> watcher.action_plan.list() # list of action_plan
|
|
>>> watcher.audit.get(audit_uuid_or_name) # information about a particular audit
|
|
|
|
When the `Client`_ needs to propagate an exception, it will usually
|
|
raise an instance listed in `watcherclient.exceptions`_.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the modules themselves, for more details.
