kiali-client 0.9.2

Python client to communicate with Kiali server over HTTP(S)

Introduction

This repository includes the necessary Python client libraries to access Kiali remotely

Installation

• To install, run python setup.py install if you installed from source code, or pip install kiali-client if using pip.

Create Client Connections

• To start a Kiali Client, use KialiClient() method. It requires the host, username and password parameters

>>> from kiali import KialiClient
>>> client = KialiClient(host='kiali-url.com')

Another parameters possible to use with Client

• host (default: localhost)
• scheme (default: http, options: https and http
• port (default: 443)
• auth_type (default: https-user-password, options: no-auth; oauth)
• username (default: admin)
• password (default: admin)
• token (use when you are using oauth token. it is the openshift token for the account )
• verify (default: False) - used for verify SSL certificates
• swagger_address (default: Swagger - address to swagger file

Response Metadata
