Chapter 5. Using the Red Hat Satellite API This chapter provides a range of examples of how to use the Red Hat Satellite API to perform different tasks. You can use the API on Satellite Server via HTTPS on port 443, or on Capsule Server via HTTPS on port 8443. You can address these different port requirements within the script itself. For example, in Ruby, you can specify the Satellite and Capsule URLs as follows: For the host that is subscribed to Satellite Server or Capsule Server, you can determine the correct port required to access the API from the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file, in the port entry of the [server] section. You can use these values to fully automate your scripts, removing any need to verify which ports to use. This chapter uses curl for sending API requests. For more information, see Section 4.1, "API Requests with curl" . Examples in this chapter use the Python json.tool module to format the output. 5.1. Working with Hosts Note The example requests below use python3 to format the respone from the Satellite Server. On RHEL 7 and some older systems, you must use python instead of python3 . Listing Hosts This example returns a list of Satellite hosts. Example request: Example response: Requesting Information for a Host This request returns information for the host satellite.example.com . Example request: Example response: Listing Host Facts This request returns all facts for the host satellite.example.com . Example request: Example response: Searching for Hosts with Matching Patterns This query returns all hosts that match the pattern "example". Example request: Example response: Searching for Hosts in an Environment This query returns all hosts in the production environment. Example request: Example response: Searching for Hosts with a Specific Fact Value This query returns all hosts with a model name RHEV Hypervisor . Example request: Example response: Deleting a Host This request deletes a host with a name host1.example.com . Example request: Downloading a Full Boot Disk Image This request downloads a full boot disk image for a host by its ID. Example request: 5.2. Working with Life Cycle Environments Satellite divides application life cycles into life cycle environments, which represent each stage of the application life cycle. Life cycle environments are linked to from an environment path. To create linked life cycle environments with the API, use the prior_id parameter. You can find the built-in API reference for life cycle environments at https:// satellite.example.com /apidoc/v2/lifecycle_environments.html . The API routes include /katello/api/environments and /katello/api/organizations/:organization_id/environments . Note The example requests below use python3 to format the respone from the Satellite Server. On RHEL 7 and some older systems, you must use python instead of python3 . Listing Life Cycle Environments Use this API call to list all the current life cycle environments on your Satellite for the default organization with ID 1 . Example request: Example response: Creating Linked Life Cycle Environments Use this example to create a path of life cycle environments. This procedure uses the default Library environment with ID 1 as the starting point for creating life cycle environments. Choose an existing life cycle environment that you want to use as a starting point. List the environment using its ID, in this case, the environment with ID 1 : Example request: Example response: Create a JSON file, for example, life-cycle.json , with the following content: Create a life cycle environment using the prior option set to 1 . Example request: Example response: In the command output, you can see the ID for this life cycle environment is 2 , and the life cycle environment prior to this one is 1 . Use the life cycle environment with ID 2 to create a successor to this environment. Edit the previously created life-cycle.json file, updating the label , name , and prior values. Create a life cycle environment, using the prior option set to 2 . Example request: Example response: In the command output, you can see the ID for this life cycle environment is 3 , and the life cycle environment prior to this one is 2 . Updating a Life Cycle Environment You can update a life cycle environment using a PUT command. This example request updates a description of the life cycle environment with ID 3 . Example request: Example response: Deleting a Life Cycle Environment You can delete a life cycle environment provided it has no successor. Therefore, delete them in reverse order using a command in the following format: Example request: 5.3. Uploading Content to the Satellite Server This section outlines how to use the Satellite 6 API to upload and import large files to your Satellite Server. This process involves four steps: Create an upload request. Upload the content. Import the content. Delete the upload request. The maximum file size that you can upload is 2MB. For information about uploading larger content, see Uploading Content Larger than 2 MB . Procedure Assign the package name to the variable name : Example request: Assign the checksum of the file to the variable checksum : Example request: Assign the file size to the variable size : Example request: The following command creates a new upload request and returns the upload ID of the request using size and checksum . Example request: where 76, in this case, is an example Repository ID. Example request: Assign the upload ID to the variable upload_id : Example request: Assign the path of the package you want to upload to the variable path : Upload your content. Ensure you use the correct MIME type when you upload data. The API uses the application/json MIME type for the majority of requests to Satellite 6. Combine the upload_id, MIME type, and other parameters to upload content. Example request: After you have uploaded the content to the Satellite Server, you need to import it into the appropriate repository. Until you complete this step, the Satellite Server does not detect the new content. Example request: After you have successfully uploaded and imported your content, you can delete the upload request. This frees any temporary disk space that data is using during the upload. Example request: Uploading Content Larger than 2 MB The following example demonstrates how to split a large file into chunks, create an upload request, upload the individual files, import them to Satellite, and then delete the upload request. Note that this example uses sample content, host names, user names, repository ID, and file names. Assign the package name to the variable name : Assign the checksum of the file to the variable checksum : Assign the file size to the variable size : The following command creates a new upload request and returns the upload ID of the request using size and checksum . Example request: where 76, in this case, is an example Repository ID. Example output Assign the upload ID to the variable upload_id : Split the file in 2MB chunks: Example output Assign the prefix of the split files to the variable path. Upload the file chunks. The offset starts at 0 for the first chunk and increases by 2000000 for each file. Note the use of the offset parameter and how it relates to the file size. Note also that the indexes are used after the path variable, for example, USD{path}0, USD{path}1. Example requests: Import the complete upload to the repository: Delete the upload request: Uploading Duplicate Content Note that if you try to upload duplicate content using: Example request: The call will return a content unit ID instead of an upload ID, similar to this: You can copy this output and call import uploads directly to add the content to a repository: Example request: Note that the call changes from using upload_id to using content_unit_id . 5.4. Applying Errata to a Host or Host Collection You can use the API to apply errata to a host, host group, or host collection. The following is the basic syntax of a PUT request: You can browse the built in API doc to find a URL to use for applying Errata. You can use the Satellite web UI to help discover the format for the search query. Navigate to Hosts > Host Collections and select a host collection. Go to Collection Actions > Errata Installation and notice the search query box contents. For example, for a Host Collection called my-collection , the search box contains host_collection="my-collection" . Applying Errata to a Host This example uses the API URL for bulk actions /katello/api/hosts/bulk/install_content to show the format required for a simple search. Example request: Applying Errata to a Host Collection In this example, notice the level of escaping required to pass the search string host_collection="my-collection" as seen in the Satellite web UI. Example request: 5.5. Using Extended Searches You can find search parameters that you can use to build your search queries in the web UI. For more information, see Building Search Queries in Administering Red Hat Satellite . For example, to search for hosts, complete the following steps: In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Hosts > All Hosts and click the Search field to display a list of search parameters. Locate the search parameters that you want to use. For this example, locate os_title and model . Combine the search parameters in your API query as follows: Example request: Note The example request uses python3 to format the respone from the Satellite Server. On RHEL 7 and some older systems, you must use python instead of python3 . Example response: 5.6. Using Searches with Pagination Control You can use the per_page and page pagination parameters to limit the search results that an API search query returns. The per_page parameter specifies the number of results per page and the page parameter specifies which page, as calculated by the per_page parameter, to return. The default number of items to return is set to 1000 when you do not specify any pagination parameters, but the per_page value has a default of 20 which applies when you specify the page parameter. Listing Content Views This example returns a list of Content Views in pages. The list contains 10 keys per page and returns the third page. Example request: Listing Activation Keys This example returns a list of activation keys for an organization with ID 1 in pages. The list contains 30 keys per page and returns the second page. Example request: Returning Multiple Pages You can use a for loop structure to get multiple pages of results. This example returns pages 1 to 3 of Content Views with 5 results per page: 5.7. Overriding Smart Class Parameters You can search for Smart Parameters using the API and supply a value to override a Smart Parameter in a Class. You can find the full list of attributes that you can modify in the built-in API reference at https:// satellite.example.com /apidoc/v2/smart_class_parameters/update.html . Find the ID of the Smart Class parameter you want to change: List all Smart Class Parameters. Example request: If you know the Puppet class ID, for example 5, you can restrict the scope: Example request: Both calls accept a search parameter. You can view the full list of searchable fields in the Satellite web UI. Navigate to Configure > Smart variables and click in the search query box to reveal the list of fields. Two particularly useful search parameters are puppetclass_name and key , which you can use to search for a specific parameter. For example, using the --data option to pass URL encoded data. Example request: Satellite supports standard scoped-search syntax. When you find the ID of the parameter, list the full details including current override values. Example request: Enable overriding of parameter values. Example request: Note that you cannot create or delete the parameters manually. You can only modify their attributes. Satellite creates and deletes parameters only upon class import from a proxy. Add custom override matchers. Example request: For more information about override values, see https:// satellite.example.com /apidoc/v2/override_values.html . You can delete override values. Example request: 5.8. Modifying a Smart Class Parameter Using an External File Using external files simplifies working with JSON data. Using an editor with syntax highlighting can help you avoid and locate mistakes. Note The example requests below use python3 to format the respone from the Satellite Server. On RHEL 7 and some older systems, you must use python instead of python3 . Modifying a Smart Class Parameter Using an External File This example uses a MOTD Puppet manifest. Search for the Puppet Class by name, motd in this case. Example request: Examine the following output. Each Smart Class Parameter has an ID that is global for the same Satellite instance. The content parameter of the motd class has id=3 in this Satellite Server. Do not confuse this with the Puppet Class ID that displays before the Puppet Class name. Example response: Use the parameter ID 3 to get the information specific to the motd parameter and redirect the output to a file, for example, output_file.json . Example request: Copy the file created in the step to a new file for editing, for example, changed_file.json : Modify the required values in the file. In this example, change the content parameter of the motd module, which requires changing the override option from false to true : After editing the file, verify that it looks as follows and then save the changes: Apply the changes to Satellite Server: 5.9. Deleting OpenSCAP reports In Satellite Server, you can delete one or more OpenSCAP reports. However, when you delete reports, you must delete one page at a time. If you want to delete all Openscap reports, use the bash script that follows. Note The example request and the example script below use python3 to format the response from the Satellite Server. On RHEL 7 and some older systems, you must use python instead of python3 . Deleting an OpenSCAP Report To delete an OpenSCAP report, complete the following steps: List all OpenSCAP reports. Note the IDs of the reports that you want to delete. Example request: Example response: Using an ID from the step, delete the OpenSCAP report. Repeat for each ID that you want to delete. Example request: Example response: Example BASH Script to Delete All OpenSCAP Reports Use the following bash script to delete all the OpenSCAP reports: #!/bin/bash #this script removes all the arf reports from the satellite server #settings USER= username PASS= password URI=https:// satellite.example.com #check amount of reports while [ USD(curl --insecure --user USDUSER:USDPASS USDURI/api/v2/compliance/arf_reports/ | python3 -m json.tool | grep \"\total\": | cut --fields=2 --delimiter":" | cut --fields=1 --delimiter"," | sed "s/ //g") -gt 0 ]; do #fetch reports for i in USD(curl --insecure --user USDUSER:USDPASS USDURI/api/v2/compliance/arf_reports/ | python3 -m json.tool | grep \"\id\": | cut --fields=2 --delimiter":" | cut --fields=1 --delimiter"," | sed "s/ //g") #delete reports do curl --insecure --user USDUSER:USDPASS --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request DELETE USDURI/api/v2/compliance/arf_reports/USDi done done
