ExpertLogicmonitor_sdk filters are driving me insane. Please help?
So I've been trying to use the logicmonitor_sdk and it seems pretty good, but I keep getting stumped by the (in my opinion) completely barren documentation, at least thats how I view it.
In particular I'm struggling with filters. On the SDK page, if I look at GetDeviceDatasourceList ( https://www.logicmonitor.com/support-files/rest-api-developers-guide/sdks/docs/#api-LM-getDeviceDatasourceList ) the example filter says this:
filter = filter_example # String | (optional)
I have no idea what to even do here. I have tried this but whether I leave the filter empty or use this one, I still get back ALL the datasources on my device, not just the one based on my custom one (31690755):
datasource_filter = 'data_source_id:31690755'
datasource_response = api_instance.get_device_datasource_list(device_id, fields="", size=1000, offset=0, filter=datasource_filter)
datasource_dict = datasource_response.to_dict()
datasource_list = datasource_dict["items"]
print (datasource_list)
I am aware of the page discussing filters in general, but the SDK doesnt seem to exactly like it does when I'm doing the non-sdk approach. I DID manage to find an example on the communities page that let me filter on a property for other things (example: 'inheritedProperties.name:"SupportTeam",inheritedProperties.value:"WSAE"') so I was able to get my device list I wanted.
But ultimately I intend to call api_instance.get_device_datasource_instance_list, so I need the (local) id of the datasource, not the global one, data_source_id. So to get it I have to call get_device_datasource_list, but my filter isnt working. I'm still getting all of them.
I can obviously loop through them all and do an if for my custom name, but I should be able to filter it.
I guess the details dont matter, but I'm wondering:
tldr: how in the world in the sdk do you just filter for a single property and value? I've tried:
'data_source_id:31690755'
'data_source_id:"31690755"'
'datasourceId:31690755'
'datasourceId:"31690755"'
I am completely stumped. I hate to ask for help but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the filter do anything, and I cant find an sdk-specific version of the filter rules.
Thanks!
How about this?
