search for snapshots sorted by creation date

olivierlambert

I think that should be doable with our REST API or at worst our existing API. Pinging @julien-f

@olivierlambert We are interested in that too. Any news?

It would be a wonderful integration to our icinga check for snapshots.

I think it's now possible since last release. Let me ping @julien-f

Hello,

Yes, the list of VM snapshots in now exposed by the REST API, the path is /rest/v0/vm-snapshots.

The list of available collections is under the path /rest/v0.

@julien-f thank you.
Is it possible to filter by creation date?

julien-f

Take a look at a specific snapshot to see the available fields, note snapshot_time which is a Unix timestamp.

Use a filter (syntax documentation), example:

/rest/v0/vm-snapshots?filter=snapshot_time%3A>1669044124

@Steve_Sibilia hey, what icinga check are you using for snapshots? do you have any xcp-ng related icinga checks running?

Steve_Sibilia

@vmpr Hi, i wrote my own to find any vm with more than X snapshot which has an age of Y days.

If you are interested I can share it, I need a little bit of time to translate comments and help in english.

For xcp-ng i wrote onther check to get the size of hba storage SR's.
