Hey
I'm using Zenoss API to get events list and noticed that even if the event is clear the summary remains the same,

So I have 2 questions:
*1. How to receive the "clear summary" using the API*
*2. How to receive the each event's notes / log (probably in dictionary - timestamp, user, note) using the API*

I'm using:

"
+    def get_events(self, device=None, component=None, eventClass=None):+
+        data = dict(start=0, limit=2000, dir='DESC', sort='lastTime')+

+        if device: data['params']['device'] = device+
+        if component: data['params']['component'] = component+
+        if eventClass: data['params']['eventClass'] = eventClass+

+        return self._router_request('EventsRouter', 'query', [data])['result']+
"

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

James,
When you are grabbing the events with the get event method, you should use the recieved evid for each event.
With the evid, you can call the details method for events:
{"action":"EventsRouter","method":"detail","data":[{"evid":"005056b4-027d-68de-11e3-440c54f167bb"}],"type":"rpc","tid":1}

This will give you notes/logs:
[{"log": [["", "2013-11-02 17:15:50", "state changed to Cleared"], ["IDxxxxx", "2013-11-02 13:22:21", "state changed to Acknowledged"]

It will also give you the evid of the clear event's - "clearid": (evid or null if not cleared or is a cleared message), which can in turn be queried with the detail method to get the clear message.
Hope this helps,
---Rob
