Ohad, looking at the API docs, I'm not sure if there is a way to query the API for a list of hosts with certain puppetclasses http://theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/API Am I missing something?

The other piece where you query for a list of hosts that match certain facts, seems to be implemented in the REST API as "/facts/<factname>/values"

However the ssh_using_foreman scriptallows ONE OR MORE facts in the query: "-f, --facts fact=x,fact=y.. one or more facts to filter the host list" I am not aware of how to do this in the API either.

Thoughts??

Just realized that you probably have this functionality in the search API, I just can't find documentation for it.

I ended up using the GUI to generate a query, and tailed the production log to find how the searches are encoded, and found this as an example: https://foreman/hosts?search=+class++%3D++base%3A%3Amonitor-only++or++class++%3D++apache2%3A%3Agb

You don't have this more cleanly documented somewhere or a code example, do you?

And facts might be a problem as the GUI returned this when I started with Facts =":

Field 'facts' not recognized for searching!

Ah it's facts.fact = blah. Testing API now..

Ohad,

Nevermind about the "OR" issue. It was already discovered and closed. One question about how ssh_using_foreman is supposed to work filtering multiple puppetclasses or facts, is it an AND or an OR?

Thanks,
Brian

Note to self /usr/bin/ruby is hardcoded, should replace with /usr/bin/env ruby. Also, gem net-ssh-multi is required.. thinking that might not be in the list of required gems for foreman.

Reminder to update http://theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Query_Interface once we make these changes.
