Hi,
Using the JSON API, I would like to extract a list of events within a defined time interval (e.g., lastTime between 2013-01-01 00:00:00 and 2013-01-31 23:59:59). Is it possible to define a query to do that?

The JSON API python sample code shows a query to match some values, using a dictionary:

    def get_events(self, device=None, component=None, eventClass=None):
        data = dict(start=0, limit=100, dir='DESC', sort='severity')
        data['params'] = dict(severity=[5,4,3,2], eventState=[0,1])

Is there a way to specify a range of values instead (so I can query for time intervals)?

Try getting my Zenoss 4 Event Managementm paper.  The last chapter is on the JSON API with an example close to what you want. http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/papers/jane/zenoss4-events/ http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/papers/jane/zenoss4-events/.

Better still - sign up for the event management class - http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/products/courses/zenoss-events.html http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/products/courses/zenoss-events.html


Cheers,

For lastTime, a slash (/) can be used to specify a range in a query: '2013-01-01 00:00:00/2013-01-31 23:59:59'. (there is a function _timeRange() defined in Products/Zuul/routers/zep.py that parses this).
