## Debugging API Filters <a id="script-debugger-api-filters"></a>
|
||||
|
||||
Queries against the [Icinga 2 REST API](12-icinga2-api.md#icinga2-api) can use
|
||||
filters, just like available in `assign where` expressions. If these filters cause
|
||||
an internal error, they return an empty result to the caller.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to analyse these server-side errors, you can use the script debugger.
|
||||
|
||||
The following example tries filter for all host objects where the custom attribute
|
||||
`os` is set. There are various possibilities to check that, one of them would be
|
||||
`host.vars.os != ""`. Another idea is to use the [contains](18-library-reference.md#dictionary-contains) method on the custom
|
||||
attribute dictionary like this: `host.vars.contains("os")`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ curl -k -s -u root:icinga -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'X-HTTP-Method-Override: GET' \
|
||||
-X POST 'https://localhost:5665/v1/objects/services' \
|
||||
-d '{ "filter": "host.vars.contains(\"os\")", "attrs": [ "__name" ], "joins": [ "host.name", "host.vars" ], "pretty": true }'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will fail on all hosts which don't have any custom attribute specified.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# icinga2 daemon -X
|
||||
|
||||
Breakpoint encountered.
|
||||
Exception: Error: Argument is not a callable object.
|
||||
Location: in <API query>: 1:0-1:23
|
||||
You can inspect expressions (such as variables) by entering them at the prompt.
|
||||
To leave the debugger and continue the program use "$continue".
|
||||
|
||||
<1> => this.host
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
vars = null
|
||||
|
||||
<2> => $continue
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By definition, a type method can only be invoked on an actual object.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to stay safe, add more checks to the API filter:
|
||||
|
||||
- `host.vars && host.vars.contains("os")` or
|
||||
- `host.vars && typeof(host.vars) == Dictionary && host.vars.contains("os")`
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ curl -k -s -u root:icinga -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'X-HTTP-Method-Override: GET' \
|
||||
-X POST 'https://localhost:5665/v1/objects/services' \
|
||||
-d '{ "filter": "host.vars && typeof(host.vars) == Dictionary && host.vars.contains(\"os\")", "attrs": [ "__name" ], "joins": [ "host.name", "host.vars" ], "pretty": true }'
|
||||
```
