I am new to Zenoss. I would like to know if there is any way to get the UID based on the device name. For example, in vCenter i have a VM with name 'MyTestVM' and i can see that in Zenoss Infrastructure section. I am developing a portal to show the monitoring graphs of CPU and Memory from zenoss. In order to do that i need to pass the UID to one of its API and i dont know how to get that UID of any device (VM specifically).
Any help here would be really helpful.
Regards,
Kiran
PS: Please help me out if there is any confusion in this question.
You have a few options, depending on what you need to.
The quick and ugly way, is to pull the UID, or UUID from your browser.
navigate to the device details page under infrastructure/devices/...
the UID should appear in your address bar.
if the URL is "https://zenoss5.zenoss-host-name/zport/dmd/Devices/Server/Linux/devices/x.x.x.x/devicedetail#deviceDetailNav:device_overview"
then your UID is "/zport/dmd/Devices/Server/Linux/devices/x.x.x.x"
you can also find the UUID by inspecting the page source and searching for "uuid"
The fun and more automatable way, is to use zendmd to look it up.
see the documentation here: support.zenoss.com: zendmd intro
attach to your zope container, and su to the zenoss user.
run zendmd
Find the device using its name:
In [1]: find('MyTestVM')
Out[1]: <Device at /zport/dmd/Devices/Server/Linux/devices/x.x.x.x>
In [2]: mydevice = find('MyTestVM')
Out[3]: '3c5a857a-7d9f-4df9-bff9-2fcb9a07acbc'
get the details you need from your dmd device:
UUID:
In [3]: mydevice.getUUID()
Out[3]: '3c5a857a-7d9f-4df9-bff9-2fcb9a07acbc'
ID:
In [4]: mydevice.getId()
OUT[4]: 'x.x.x.x'
The best way, is probably to use the JSON API.
there is a json api guide, and full API documentation

My apps using bonjour service to conversation with each other via local network.
I am facing a problem on Xcode12 with OS14 device.
A device publish a service with server type name depends on self device IP address
(example: 192.168.33.20 -> _1921683320._tcp)
B device searching a service with service type depends on A device IP address
(example: _1921683320._tcp)
According to apple document..From OS14~
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/multipeerconnectivity
Important
Apps that use the local network must provide a usage string in their Info.plist with the key NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription. Apps that use Bonjour must also declare the services they browse, using the NSBonjourServices key.
because my service type name is named by local network ip, it is changeable base on local network setting, so I am thinking about to using wildcard to define the service type name.
example: _*._tcp
but seems wildcard is not available on this definition.(I tried it)
I am also thinking about changing the naming method on A device
(example: 192.168.33.20 -> _20._tcp)
and add _1.tcp ~ _255.tcp to info-plist
But if I changed the naming method, B device could not find A device until version up.
Any idea for this problem? Please help.
I'm currently working through the same issue - Bonjour service name is dynamically created based off the iPad name to form a local mesh network. The conclusion that I have came to is com.apple.developer.networking.multicast is required for this to function without completely overhauling how all that logic is done. (More info here)
You will have to request permission from apple by filling out a form here. Let me know if this works for you!
The thing I am finding is, you "might" not be able to use a wildcard, but you can put multiple entries in the plist:
Item 0 _multicastapp0-p._tcp
Item 1 _multicastapp1-p._tcp
Item 2 _multicastapp2-p._tcp
Item 3 _multicastapp3-p._tcp
etc
Item N _multicastappN-p._tcp
So for some reason if you are trying to have multiple "Groups" of 8 or have a device have it's own "collection" i.e. be a server and have 3 devices connect to that, you can.
I haven't "fully" tested but I am going to be doing this in my apps, I did test using multiple keys tho, but not fully, no errors...
Hello guys and I hope you're having a great day. I have a question about using Openstack API in Python.
I'm using python-novaclient for getting server details and flavor details. And I want to get the volume details too but I don't know how to do it, I've tried to collect volume details but it failed somehow and I need to ask you guys if you have any idea.
This information is what I want to get:
volume_id, attached to (w/c volume), name, status and volume_type (CEPH or LVM)
I used python-cinderclient, but I only got the volume_id.
Here's the code:
volumes = cinder.volumes.list()
Can someone help me to get the other data? Other than running Openstack command-line in the server, I just need some Python module to get these data.
Thanks in advance.
I've finally figured it out, and I'm going to answer this for anyone who is interested in Openstack SDK or other Python API for Openstack.
First, for authentication you need to use Keystone API, the documentation is all over the internet so no need to worry, you could just oversee in your Openstack for credentials needed. And for my question, I use the function get_volume from Connection class. Please see the documentation
for this. You can read other documentation as well on the internet.
So, here is the example of how to get volumes details:
vol = conn.get_volume(volume_id)
print(vol)
i'm writing to you to ask a little support about an action that we are currently developing using Action Builder and webhook library #assistant/conversation for Nodejs.
In particular, we would invoke our webhook's logic using the device location.
We have understand that we must ask the user permission to access on device location using something like this:
https://developers.google.com/assistant/actionssdk/reference/rest/Shared.Types/PermissionValueSpec
but in all Github examples provided by Google nothing is specified.
Furthermore, we tried to integrate the PermissionValueSpec in a slot using the notification actions.type.Notifications, but the returned value of that slot is
PermissionLocation --> ALREADY_GRANTED without any other information about the device coordinates.
We've read a lot of documentation and also looked for some example to support our develop but nothing was found.
How we can get the current device location?
Thank you in advance!
First, thanks Hasura for incredible good product! I love it.
I have issue with derive action with Hasura Console. My use case:
I enable anonymous role for subscribe function (everybody can send email to subscribe)
I have configured permission on my subscribe table, everything is fine.
I want to validate the user input on server side, for example, validate email format. I have followed by this guide about derive action. I found no mistake here.
But I got the error "Type query_root must define one or more fields." when I hit "Derive action" at the first time.
According to this question, as I understand, I need to have object type for root query.
Of course, I will have object type for root query eventually. I can work around by giving some dummy queries for anonymous role. But I do not like that cheat anyway.
Any idea on that? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Edited:
My related current version:
Hasura 1.3.2
One click deployment using Docker on Digital Ocean.
My place of business currently uses Reflection for Unix and OpenVMS to handle a database of customers. I access this database directly through the Reflection emulation. The only way to get data out of Reflection is to navigate to a single customer via keyboard input and print the information to a .txt.
Is there anyway I can access the VM other than through Reflection with the end goal of automating retrieval of customer information from a Java script executed outside of the Reflection environment? This is the information I can gather via the Reflection interface about what I am connecting to:
At the bottom of the Reflection interface - VT500-7 -- HOST_NAME via SECURE SHELL
Via the Connection Setup drop-down:
Host name: HOST_NAME
SSH config scheme: AutoKeyLogin
User name: username
Via the Security... button:
General tab:
Port number: 22
User Authentication: [x] Public Key
[x] Password
User Keys tab:
Use Name Type Location
[x] username1user DSA C:\Documents\PathToSSHKey\.ssh
Host Keys tab:
Host Type Fingerprint
HOST_NAME, 111.1.111.11, 22 DSA 39:14:f3:123:fds:restOfFingerprint
There is more information available if the solution is possible but I have just not provided enough to solve it, so please ask.
Given that I have the host name, port, .ssh, and host key, is it possible to connect to and read from the VM that I am otherwise connecting to normally via the Reflection emulator?
NO. Reflection (other example is PuTTY) is just a dumb-terminal emulator, here using the (secure) SSH protocol to connect to some Operating System. From the information provided we cannot even tell which OS. Maybe OpenVMS maybe some Unix. Most certainly not a 'VM', but a physical box. Maybe a Alpha, Integrity, Sun, IBM or Intel server.
IF, big if, it is OpenVMS you would possibly see something like this flash by on entry:
XXX - HP rx2600 (1.50GHz/6.0MB) OpenVMS IA64 V8.3-1H1
Last interactive login on Thursday, 7-DEC-2017 13:23:19.83
Last non-interactive login on Wednesday, 6-DEC-2017 12:35:45.80
Most likely username uses is set up to always start a (shell) script which starts a menu from which a program is activated, which knows how to access data record. IF is it OpenVMS then the actual data is likely stored in RMS (indexed) files, but it could in a proper (Oracle RDB or RDBMS) database.
If bulk access to the data is needed then you need to talk to the system/application manager for the system 'HOST_NAME' and ask them about the application and its database.
You may find that there is FTP, ODBC or JDBC or natice DB (OCI?) access to the data avaiable already, or that this can be requested. Likely tools in this space are ConnX, Attunity Connect, and such.
First you'll need to find out which OS/Platform/Version, which application (3rd party? home grown? 4GL? Cobol? Basic? and ultimately, which database/storage method.
That's not to say that some terminal emulator cannot be 'tricked' (google -
screen scraping) to be programmed to fetch a series of data on command, but that will always be error prone and laboriously for limited volumes.
You are better of trying to get proper data access.
Good luck! You'll need some.
