NAME

Mojo::Redfish::Client - A Redfish client with a Mojo flair

SYNOPSIS

  my $client = Mojo::Redfish::Client->new(host => '192.168.0.1');
  my $system = $client->root->get('/Systems')->get('/Members')->first;
  my $name   = $system->value('/Name');
  say "Name: $name";

DESCRIPTION

Redfish is a modern standards-based system for querying computer systems for information. It replaces the existing IPMI "standard", such as it was, both in standardization and in using JSON over HTTP rather than binary protocols.

Mojo::Redfish::Client is, as the name suggests, a client for Redfish. It works to smooth out some of the common pain points of working with Redfish, especially the task of walking the data structure to find relevant information.

This is still a work-in-progress, however the author uses it in work application so every effort will be made to keep the api reasonably stable while improving where possible.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Redfish::Client inherits all attributes from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

concurrency

The per-operation concurrency limit. This is not a global concurrency, it only limits concurrency when a single operation would make several concurrent requests within it. For example (and the only current case), "get_p" in Mojo::Redfish::Client on an array. If zero (or otherwise falsey), no concurrency limit will be applied. Default is 5.

host

The Redfish host.

password

Password used for authentication by the default "ua" (with "username").

ssl

If true, the default "ua" will establish the connection using SSL/TLS by setting the request scheme to https. If false, the request scheme will be http. If not defined, the url scheme will not be set. Default is true.

token

Session token to be used by the default "ua", overrides "username" and "password".

ua

The instance of Mojo::UserAgent used to make requests. The default is an instance which subscribes to "prepare" in Mojo::UserAgent to set authentication and ssl.

username

Username used for authentication by the default "ua" (with "password").

METHODS

Mojo::Redfish::Client inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

get

  my $result = $client->get('/redfish/v1/Systems');

Requests the requested url via the "ua". Returns an instance of Mojo::Redfish::Client::Result. Dies on errors (the exact exception and behavior is subject to change).

get_p

Same as "get" but returns a Mojo::Promise that resolves to the result.

root

  my $result = $client->root;

Requests the Redfish root url (/redfish/v1) from the "host" via "get" or fetches a cached copy. Caches and returns the result.

  # same as (except for the caching)
  my $result = $client->get('/redfish/v1');

root_p

Same as "root" but returns a Mojo::Promise that resolves to the (possibly cached) root result.

FUTURE WORK

This module is still in early development. Future work will include

• Session management
