ManagedDevice

ManagedDevice is a generic interface to any Resources on the network which is being managed by ASM.

A successful discovery request results in the creation of instances of ManagedDevice.

Get all Managed Devices

Assuming the Discovery process succeeded, ASM will now know about some or all of the devices

available on the network.

require 'ASMConfig'

url = ASM::API::URI('/ManagedDevice')

response = ASM::API::sign {

RestClient.get url

}

doc = Nokogiri::XML(response)

# Print selected info for each device

print "%30s%15s%20s%20s%15s\n" % %w(ServiceTag State IP Model Type)

"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------\n"

doc.xpath('//ManagedDevice').sort_by{|d| d.at_xpath('deviceType').content}.each

do |device|

svc_tag = device.at_xpath('serviceTag').content

state = device.at_xpath('state').content

ip_addr = device.at_xpath('ipAddress').content

model = device.at_xpath('model').content

dev_type = device.at_xpath('deviceType').content

print "%30s%15s%20s%20s%15s\n" % [svc_tag,state,ip_addr,model,dev_type]

end

ServiceTemplate

A ServiceTemplate is a reusable structure that defines the network topology and components of a future

service deployment. A trivial example template could be a single server component setup to run Linux.

Deploying this template would result in a single server being chosen from the available discovered

resources and installing Linux on it.

Get all ServiceTemplates

Here we retrieve all ServiceTemplates and output the names of those not in draft mode ( published ). The

draft property determines if a template is in the published state. Only published templates can be

deployed.

require 'ASMConfig'

url = ASM::API::URI('/ServiceTemplate')
