We want to programatically order VSI using the flavor (for example. Balanced type), however instead of using the standard os_code, we want the VSI to be created from a public image template (ie. CentOS7-ChangeStable). From the following doc it seems to be possible.
http://softlayer-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/SoftLayer/managers/vs.html
However I tried but got the following error:
SoftLayer.exceptions.SoftLayerAPIError: SoftLayerAPIError(SoftLayer_Exception_InvalidValue): Invalid value provided for 'blockDevices'. Block devices may not be provided when using an image template.
Using slcli is failing as well with a different error:
# slcli vs create --hostname testvsi --domain vmonic.local --flavor BL2_4X8X100 --image 1cc8be72-f230-4ab9-b4b2-329c3e747853 --datacenter tok02 --private
This action will incur charges on your account. Continue? [y/N]: y
SoftLayerAPIError(SoftLayer_Exception_Public): Order is missing the following category: Operating System.
Please advice whether using "image_id" with "flavor" is supported in SL API / python API. Thanks!
this is an issue with the API, the python client uses the http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/softlayer_virtual_guest/createObject method to create the VSI using RESTFul the same request would be something like this:
POST: https://$USERNAME:#APIKEY#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/createObject
Payload:
{
"parameters": [{
"datacenter": {
"name": "tok02"
},
"domain": "softlayer.local",
"hourlyBillingFlag": true,
"blockDeviceTemplateGroup": {
"globalIdentifier": "1cc8be72-f230-4ab9-b4b2-329c3e747853"
},
"hostname": "rcabflav",
"privateNetworkOnlyFlag": true,
"supplementalCreateObjectOptions": {
"flavorKeyName": "BL2_4X8X100"
}
}]
}
and you will get the same error, I reported this error in Softlayer, if you want you can submit a ticket in softlayer and report it as well.

I am trying to publish data directly from pubsub to bigquery.
I have created a topic with a schema.
I have created a table.
But when I create the subscription, I get an error request contains an invalid argument
gcloud pubsub subscriptions create check-me.httpobs --topic=check-me.httpobs --bigquery-table=agilicus:checkme.httpobs --write-metadata --use-topic-schema
ERROR: Failed to create subscription [projects/agilicus/subscriptions/check-me.httpobs]: Request contains an invalid argument.
ERROR: (gcloud.pubsub.subscriptions.create) Failed to create the following: [check-me.httpobs].
there's not really a lot of diagnostics i can do here.
Is there any worked out example that shows? What am i doing wrong for this error?
Side note: its really a pain to have to create the BQ schema w/ its native json format, and then create the message schema in avro format. Similar, but different, and no conversion tools that I can find.
If i run with --log-http, it doesn't really enlighten:
{
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT"
}
}
-- update:
switched to protobuf, same problem.

I have also tried using the API Explorer to post this, same effect.
I have also tried using the python example:

I'm using wit ai for a bot and I think it's amazing. However, I must provide the customer with screens in my web app to train and manage the app. And here I found a big problem (or maybe I'm just lost). The documentation of the REST API is not enough to design a client that acts like the wit console (not even close). it's like a tutorial of what endpoints you can hit and an overview of the parameters, but no clean explanation of the structure of the response.
For example, there is no endpoint to get the insights edge. Also and most importantly, no clear documentation about the response structure when hitting the message endpoints (i.e. the structure the returned entities: are they prebuilt or not, and if they are, is the value a string or an object or array, and what the object might contain [e.g. datetime]). Also the problem of the deprecated guide and the new guide (the new guide should be done and complete by now). I'm building parts of the code based on my testing. Sometimes when I test something new (like adding a range in the datetime entity instead of just a value), I get an error when I try to set the values to the user since I haven't parsed the response right, and the new info I get makes me modify the DB structure at my end sometimes.
So, the bottom line, is there a complete reference that I can implement a complete client in my web app (my web app is in Java by the way and I couldn't find a client library that handles the latest version of the API)? Again, the tool is AWESOME but the documentation is not enough, or maybe I'm missing something.
The document is not enough of course but I think its pretty straightforward. And from what I read there is response structure under "Return the meaning of a sentence".
It's response in JSON format. So you need to decode the response first.
Example Request:
$ curl -XGET 'https://api.wit.ai/message?v=20170307&q=how%20many%20people%20between%20Tuesday%20and%20Friday' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN'
Example Response:
{
"msg_id": "387b8515-0c1d-42a9-aa80-e68b66b66c27",
"_text": "how many people between Tuesday and Friday",
"entities": {
"metric": [ {
"metadata": "{'code': 324}",
"value": "metric_visitor",
"confidence": 0.9231
} ],
"datetime": [ {
"value": {
"from": "2014-07-01T00:00:00.000-07:00",
"to": "2014-07-02T00:00:00.000-07:00"
},
"confidence": 1
}, {
"value": {
"from": "2014-07-04T00:00:00.000-07:00",
"to": "2014-07-05T00:00:00.000-07:00"
},
"confidence": 1
} ]
}
}

please tell me how to get available maintenance windows by using a SoftLayer REST API.
I tried it in the following way, but it did not work.
curl -K support -d #Maintence.json -X POST https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Provisioning_Maintenance_Window/getMaintenceWindows
When executing the command, the following error message is displayed:
{"error":"End date must be a later date than begin
date.","code":"SoftLayer_Exception"}
The contents of the JSON file are described below:
{
"parameters":[
{
"beginDate": "2016-12-22T00:00",
"endDate": "2016-12-29T00:00",
"locationId": 138124,
"slotsNeeded" : 1
}]
}
The proper API to use here is SoftLayer_Provisioning_Maintenance_Window::getMaintenanceWindows() as opposed to the misspelled getMaintenceWindows
The API payload is still the same.
curl -K support -d #Maintence.json -X POST https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Provisioning_Maintenance_Window/getMaintenanceWindows
{
"parameters":[
"2016-12-22T00:00",
"2016-12-29T00:00",
138124,
1
]
}
When making API calls to the softlayer API, the parameters are not named, just listed in order that matches the documentation.
You just need to send the parameters (It's not necesary to define them in an object), so try with this json:
{
"parameters":[
"2016-12-22T00:00",
"2016-12-29T00:00",
138124,
1
]
}

SoftLayer_Provisioning_Maintenance_Window::getMaintenceWindows
I'm using 'SoftLayer_Hardware', 'createObject' to deploy new servers, however this call returns no id, as on the example on http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Hardware/createObject
So if I have no id how can I query info for that server? I noticed there's a globalIdentifier variable but no mention at all on what it is and how to use it
you can use the goblal identifier instead the ID in your request
e.g.
Get https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Hardware/$GloblalIdentifier/getObject
Note: replace the $GloblalIdentifier
The reason why the id is not displayed is because the server was not created yet, your order has to be approved and when the provisioning is ended the id will show up, meanwhile you can use the global identifier when the provisioning ends you will be able to see the id
regards
Here SoftLayer_Hardware::createObject says:
To determine when the server is available you can poll the server via
SoftLayer_Hardware::getObject,
checking the provisionDate property. When provisionDate is not null,
the server will be ready. Be sure to use the globalIdentifier as your
initialization parameter.
Please see this example:
https://[username]:[apikey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Hardware/[globalIdentifier_value]/getObject
Method: GET
Also, you can get Bare Metal information using SoftLayer_Account::getHardware with some filters:
https://[username]:[apikey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getHardware?objectFilter={"hardware":{"hostname":{"operation": "myhostname"}, "domain":{"operation": "mydomain"}}}&objectMask=mask[id,fullyQualifiedDomainName,provisionDate]
Method: GET
Note: You can add some masks in order to get more information than by default, i.e. In the previous request you can see the provisionDate(When provisionDate is not null, the server will be ready).
List Bare metal servers filtering by username who created them:
https://[username]:[apikey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getHardware?objectFilter={ "hardware": { "billingItem": { "orderItem": { "order": { "userRecord": { "username": { "operation": "myusername" } } } } } } }&objectMask=mask[id,fullyQualifiedDomainName,billingItem.orderItem.order.userRecord.username,provisionDate]
Method: GET
Also you can review:
Softlayer API to get virtual guest owner
thank you for your answers. Unfortunately this is a chicken/egg problem. Once the API call is sent, I get an GloblalIdentifier but not an id.
If I ask for this GloblalIdentifier I get a response with id as null
If I get the listing of the hardware servers, I see the new machine is there, has an id, but the GloblalIdentifier is None.
Makes no sense.
I am using worklight 6.1 and I'm trying to send logs that are created in my client to the server in order to be able to view the logs in case the application crashes. What I have done is (based on this link http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wrklight/v5r0m6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.worklight.help.doc%2Fdevref%2Fc_using_client_log_capture.html):
Set the below in wlInitOptions.js
logger : {
enabled: true,
level: 'debug',
stringify: true,
pretty: false,
tag: {
level: false,
pkg: true
},
whitelist: [],
blacklist: [],
nativeOptions: {
capture: true
}
},
In the client I have set the below where I want to send a log:
WL.Logger.error("test");
WL.Logger.send();
Implemented the necessary adapter WLClientLogReceiver-impl.js with the log function based on the link
Unfortunately I can't see the log in the messages.log. Anyone have any ideas?
I have also tried to send the log in the analytics DB based on this link http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.monitor.doc/monitor/c_op_analytics_data_capture.html.
What I did is:
WL.Analytics.log( { "_activity" : "myCustomActivity" }, "My log" );
however no new entry is added in the app_Activity_Report table. Is there something I am missing?
Couple of things:
Follow Idan's advice in his comments and be sure you're looking at the correct docs. He's right; this feature has changed quite a bit between versions.
You got 90% of the configuration, but you're missing the last little bit. Simply sending logs to your adapter is not enough for them to show in your messages.log. You need to do one of the following to get it into messages.log:
set audit="true" attribute in the <procedure> tag of the WLClientLogReceiver.xml file, or
log the uploaded data explicitly in your adapter implementation. Beware, however, that the WL.Logger API on the server is subject to the application server level configuration.
Also, WL.Analytics.log data does not go into the reports database. The only public API that populates the database is WL.Client.logActivity. I recommend sticking with the WL.Logger and WL.Analytics APIs.
