Surveil API Client Library

This is a client library for Surveil built on the Surveil API.

Command-line API

Installing this package gets you a shell command, surveil, that you can use to interact with the Surveil API.

You’ll need to provide the Surveil API URL. You can do this with the --surveil-api-url parameter, but it’s easier to just set it as environment variable:

export SURVEIL_API_URL=http://localhost:8080/v1

You’ll find complete documentation on the shell by running surveil help.

Bash completion

Basic command tab completion can be enabled by sourcing the bash completion script:

source /usr/local/share/monasca.bash_completion

Python API

To use the python API, simply create a client with the endpoint:

from surveilclient.v1_0 import client
c = client.Client('http://localhost:8080/v1')
hosts = c.hosts.list()
