xo-cli command list VMs which ha snapshots

tadela

Hey folks, i need some help:
Using WebUIi can list snapshots:

snapshots:length:>2

So how i could list snapshots use xo-cli command?

Danp

This command will provide a list of all existing snapshots --

xo-cli --list-objects type=VM-snapshot

Guessing that you would need to take the results and process them for duplicate $snapshot_of properties.

Question for @julien-f I assume

@tadela Not possible, xo-cli does not support advanced filtering like xo-web.

Another thing to add in the "interesting stuff" for a future public API (pinging @marcungeschikts )

@julien-f Technically, it is possible with post processing as I mentioned above. Here's an example using jq and awk --

 xo-cli --list-objects type=VM-snapshot | jq '.[]."$snapshot_of"' | sort | uniq -c | awk -F " " '{print "{\"uuid\":" $2 ",\"count\":" $1"}"}'| jq ' select( .count > 1)'

Output looks like this --

{
  "uuid": "07604606-e937-5147-2dac-c1b4280df234",
  "count": 2
}
{
  "uuid": "0f11c701-c5e5-b09b-4c5f-00cf38153783",
  "count": 2
}
{
  "uuid": "83139da5-48d5-33f6-79f9-79ea91a7163c",
  "count": 2
}
{
  "uuid": "fb4703e4-bfd6-47b8-3fd1-f1f52f9ed234",
  "count": 2
}
{
  "uuid": "ff8b29e3-4445-5b22-e475-450270f2a7f3",
  "count": 2
}

Note: I am not proficient with these linux utilities so there may be better ways to accomplish this.

Nice! That's a pretty clear goal anyway, to provide this as more "turnkey"

I've added the support of advanced filtering in the API, it does no have first class support in xo-cli yet but it's usable anyway:

xo-cli xo.getAllObjects limit=json:10 filter='type:/^VM$/ snapshots:length:>2'
