API command to get resource connections?
Hello folks,
Is there an API command I can use to see all of a resources connections? Not the connections in the current sandbox, but the connections assigned to the resource in resource manager.
My use-case is I have a Cloudshell resource representing a shelf of physical devices. Inside resource manager, I have established connections between this shelf resource and the cloudshell resources representing the physical devices on the shelf. I'm trying to see if I can get from a reserved shelf resource back to it's connected physical devices, even if those devices aren't in the current sandbox.
Thank you,
This is an example of a recursive method I wrote to list all children and their connections - you have to pass in the GetResourseDetails results:
Origin Call:
for item in device_query_list:
self.connection_list = []
details = self.cs_session.GetResourceDetails(resourceFullPath=item)
self._inner_connections(details)
Method:
def _inner_connections(self, dev_details):
temp = [dev_details.Name, '']
for each in dev_details.Connections:
temp[1] = each.FullPath
self.connection_list.append(temp)
for child in dev_details.ChildResources:
self._inner_connections(child)
Hi @babrams
GetResourceDetails should help with that.
It has the connections list in the retired object.

As Yaniv has said, you may use GetResourceDetails of TestShellAPI in TestShell Studio or Authoring, and get the connections in Result XML output, e.g.
<Connections FullPath="PatchPanel/p1" Weight="10"></Connections>
Or use GetResourceDetails() from cloudshell_api Python package, which returns ResourceInfo object, e.g.
import cloudshell.helpers.scripts.cloudshell_dev_helpers as dev_helpers
Host = 'localhost'
Username = 'admin'
Password = 'admin'
Domain = 'Global'
api_session = dev_helpers.helpers.CloudShellAPISession(Host, Username, Password, Domain)
resourceInfo = api_session.GetResourceDetails("Router1")
for childResource in resourceInfo.ChildResources:
for connection in childResource.Connections:
print connection.FullPath
Hope it helps.
