Hi,

I can query events from the MySQL event DB, no problemo.

I would like to filter those events based on the same filters in a particular user's EventView (without manually replicating the filters in my WHERE clause).

I could parse the output of wget <URL to eventview>, but I suspect there is an easier way?

Please help.

Thanks

I worked it out.

Conect to ZenDMD, get the user or group that the view blongs to, then call getEventList() on the view object of that user:

from Products.ZenUtils.ZenScriptBase import ZenScriptBase
dmd = ZenScriptBase(connect=True,noopts=True).dmd


zenoss_user = dmd.ZenUsers.findObject(user)
view = zenoss_user.findObject(event_view_name)
events = view.getEventList()

for event in events:
    print event.device, event.summary,event.severity
