Opsview::REST - Interface to the Opsview REST API
use Opsview::REST;

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
Return an instance of the Opsview::REST.
Base url where the REST API resides. By default it is under /rest.
Username to login as.
Either the pass or the auth_tkt MUST be passed. It will die horribly if none of these are found.
A user agent object can be provided here. It should be an HTTP::Tiny subclass.
Makes a "GET" request to the API. The response is properly deserialized and returned as a Perl data structure.
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.

Get events. An event is considered to be either:

Acknowledge problems.

Lists the problems which the current logged in user has permission to acknowledge.
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.

Get status of reload.

Recheck services or hosts asynchronously. It returns info about the number of hosts and services that will be rechecked.

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);
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});
