Usage

Listing all nodes from a given environment:

http://localhost:9999/api/env_name

The response will be a JSON like the following:

{
        "env_name": {
                "node1": ["tags_list"],
                "node2": ["tags_list"],
                "node3": ["tags_list"],
                "node4": ["tags_list"]          
        }
}

Listing nodes tags based on a custom query:

We can make use o knife search capabilities and provide more information to filter/narrow down our search:

http://localhost:9999/api?env=dev&role=web_server

The previous 'query' will search for all nodes on the dev environment that have the 'web-server' role set up. The result will be like this one:

{
        "node1": [tags_list"],
        "node2": [tags_list"]
}

Supported filters:

• env
• role
• zone
• node (name)
