Is there any API to get all the device names under the same group in zenoss?
Please point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

I am using Python for querying the devices under zenoss group.
Key is sending request with data='{"action":"DeviceRouter", "method":"getDevices","data":[{"uid":"/zport/dmd/Devices/"}],"tid":1}')
import requests
def getZenossDeviceList(zenossURI, username, password, data):
try:
s = requests.Session()
s.auth = (username, password)
s.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
r = s.post(zenossURI, data=data, timeout=(3.05, 30));
except Exception as ex:
raise Exception("getZenossDeviceList: {0}",ex )
else:
if r.status_code == requests.codes.ok:
return r.json()
else:
raise Exception("getZenossDeviceList: {0}", r.reason)
def getServerList(username,password):
hostList = []
zenossURI="https://<ZENOSSS_SERVER_IP>/zport/dmd/device_router"
try:
r = getZenossDeviceList(zenossURI, username, password,\
data='{"action":"DeviceRouter", "method":"getDevices","data":[{"uid":"/zport/dmd/Devices/<AbsolutePath_for_Groupname>"}],"tid":1}')
print r
except Exception as e:
print "Exception", e
