API: hostgroup search by wildcarded name?

[maxlock]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do a search of hostgroups by name using the API. I've not having any luck as the API seems to return all hostgroups. the JSON request I'm generating looks like this

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":"hostgroup.get","params": {"output": "extend", "search": {"name": ["'test*'"]}},"auth": "XXXXX", "id": 0}

I've tried both a percent and star as the wildcard.

Any ideas, or an example?

-Cheers Max.

I think you want either to leave off the wild card or enable them.

Leave it off;

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":"hostgroup.get","params": {"output": "extend", "search": {"name": ["'test'"]}},"auth": "XXXXX", "id": 0}

Enable wildcards

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":"hostgroup.get","params": {"output": "extend", "search": {"name": ["'test*'"]},"searchWildcardsEnabled":1},"auth": "XXXXX", "id": 0}

Hiya,

Thanks for the suggestions, I've tried both with no luck, each time I still get all hostgroups?

Has anyone got a working example?

-Cheers Max.

Must be a bug?

Hi All,

Seeing as there are no example searches in the documentation, the forum, or via google etc al, i'm assuming that searches just don't work. I'm going to log a bug report.

Correct:

wildcards off:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":"hostgroup.get","params": {"output": "extend", "search": {"name": ["test"]}},"auth": "XXXXX", "id": 0}

Enable wildcards:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":"hostgroup.get","params": {"output": "extend", "search": {"name": ["test*"]},"searchWildcardsEnabled":1},"auth": "XXXXX", "id": 0}
