Query Help

./itopcli query --help
Usage: itopcli query [OPTIONS]

  Description:

  Query classes (core/get) in iTop

  Notes:

  The --key option takes precedence over --criteria option

Options:
  --class TEXT         iTop Server Class  [required]
  --attribute TEXT     Attribute code for iTop Class  [required]
  --criteria TEXT      Search criteria for iTop Class Attribute  [required]
  --outputfields TEXT  Fields to be displayed in JSON (Comma-separated)
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Query Command

This client produces json for every query (even errors). You can use the popular (jq) command to format the json to your specs. You can specify the --outputfields to list specific fields you would like to have displayed. The default is * or all fields.

The class, attribute, and criteria are based on iTop's object schema. You can find the object schema in the software under Admin Tools>Data Model. I tried to closely mimic the iTop Data Model in this tool.

The --key option takes precedence over --criteria option if specified in the same command.

./itopcli query --class='WebServer' --attribute='name' --criteria='lucy' --outputfields='*'
{
  "objects": {
    "WebServer::2": {
      "code": 0,
      "message": "",
      "class": "WebServer",
      "key": "2",
      "fields": {
        "name": "lucy",
        "description": "",
        "org_id": "1",
        "organization_name": "My Company/Department",
        "business_criticity": "low",
        "move2production": ""
        ...
      }
    }
  },
  "code": 0,
  "message": "Found: 1"
}

Things to Note

1. I originally wrote this for Python3 but I understood, even in my own setup that users still use Python2 (despite its support). Feel free to change the program (she-bash Line 1), if needed.
2. I don't have a pipeline setup yet (it's on my TODO).
3. I use pylint3 WITHOUT configuration file. If you contirubte please lint with pylint3 with no config file.
