NAME

RightScale::Query - Query RightScale for server instances

VERSION

version 0.201

SYNOPSIS

Query the RightScale service for information about server instances. It can be used to query for other objects, but at this stage it only provides a helper function to find server instances

    use RightScale::Query;

    # Package Globals
    $RightScale::Query::api_url = 'https://us-4.rightscale.com/api';
    $RightScale::Query::internet_proxy = 'http://proxy.example.com';
    $RightScale::Query::internet_proxy_timeout = 30;

    # Get an access token
    my $refresh_token = 'afd983762efabcd9823209cbdefa9819832dcbea';
    my $access_token = rs_get_access_token( $refresh_token );

    # Check whether we can find the instance
    my $instance_id   = $server_data->{'instance_id'};
    my $rs_cloud_id   = $server_data->{'rs_cloud_id'};
    my $rs_account_id   = $server_data->{'rs_account_id'};
    my $instance_details = rs_find_instance(  $instance_id, $rs_cloud_id, $access_token );

GLOBAL VARIABLES

$RightScale::Query::api_url needs to be set to match the URL of the RightScale API.

These variables can be set if you need to pass through a proxy (these are passed to LWP::UserAgent):

• RightScale::Query::internet_proxy - The hostname of the proxy server

• RightScale::Query::internet_proxy_timeout - The proxy timeout

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

rs_get_access_token

This provides the RightScale temporary access token when the refresh token is provided

    my $access_token = rs_get_access_token( $refresh_token );

run_rs_query

Connect to the RightScale API, run a query and return the result

    my $instance_id = $server_data->{'instance_id'};
    my $form = {
                 "filter[]" => "resource_uid==$instance_id",
               };
    my $headers = HTTP::Headers->new(
                                        'X-API-Version' => '1.5',
                                        'Authorization' => "Bearer $access_token",
                                    );
    my $rs_cloud_id = $server_data->{'rs_cloud_id'};
    my $path = "clouds/$rs_cloud_id/instances";
    my $instance_request = run_rs_query( $headers, $form, $path, "GET" );

This is a low level function that allows most queries to be constructed. This particular example if wrapped up by the rs_find_instance function.

rs_find_instance

Look for the specified instance in RightScale, if it's found we will have a hash array of data about the instance, if not found - the hash will be undef.

    # Check whether we can find the instance
    my $instance_id   = $server_data->{'instance_id'};
    my $rs_cloud_id   = $server_data->{'rs_cloud_id'};
    my $rs_account_id   = $server_data->{'rs_account_id'};
    my $instance_details = rs_find_instance(  $instance_id, $rs_cloud_id, $access_token );

BUGS/FEATURES

This module should be converted to be OO, but it's not actively being using anymore, so incentive is low to rewrite, but I want make it available for others anyway.

Please report any bugs or feature requests in the issues section of GitHub: https://github.com/Q-Technologies/perl-Log-MixedColor. Ideally, submit a Pull Request.
