Parser for AQL queries and GUI expressions from python objects.

class axonius_api_client.api.wizards.wizard.Wizard(apiobj, log_level='debug')[source]¶

Bases: object

Parser for AQL queries and GUI expressions from python objects.

Examples

Create a client using axonius_api_client.connect.Connect and assume apiobj is either client.devices or client.users

>>> apiobj = client.devices  # or client.users

Define some entries to parse

>>> entries = [
...   {
...     'value': 'hostname contains test',
...     'type': 'simple',
...   },
...   {
...     'value': 'installed_software // name contains chrome // version earlier_than 82',
...     'type': 'complex'
...   },
... ]

Parse the entries into a query and GUI expressions

>>> parsed = apiobj.wizard.parse(entries=entries)
>>> list(parsed)
['expressions', 'query']

Get the query produced by the wizard

>>> query = parsed["query"]
>>> query[:80]
'(specific_data.data.hostname == regex("test", "i")) and (specific_data.data.inst'

Get the GUI expressions produced by the wizard

>>> expressions = parsed["expressions"]
>>> expressions[0]['filter']
'(specific_data.data.hostname == regex("test", "i"))'
>>> expressions[1]['filter'][:80]
'and (specific_data.data.installed_software == match([(name == regex("chrome", "i'

Use the query to get assets

>>> assets = apiobj.get(query=query)
>>> len(assets)
2

Use the query to get a count of assets >>> count = apiobj.count(query=query) >>> count 2

Use the query and expressions to create a saved query that the GUI understands

>>> sq = apiobj.saved_query.add(name="test", query=query, expressions=expressions)

Parameters:: log_level (typing.Union[str, int]) –

DOCS: str = '\n# Example:\n[\n {\n "type": "simple",\n "value": "( hostname contains test"\n },\n {\n "type": "simple",\n "value": "! hostname contains internal )"\n },\n {\n "type": "simple",\n "value": "( os.type equals windows"\n },\n {\n "type": "simple",\n "value": "| os.type equals os x )"\n },\n {\n "type": "complex",\n "value": "installed_software // name contains chrome // version earlier_than 82"\n }\n]\n\n\n# Format -- [] represents optional items:\n# "type": "simple, "value": "[& | ! ( )] FIELD OPERATOR VALUE [)]"\n# Description: "Filter entry for simple fields"\n# "type": "complex", "value": "[& | ! ( )] COMPLEX-FIELD // SUB-FIELD OPERATOR VALUE[ // ...] [)]"\n# Description: "Filter entry for complex fields and their sub-fields"\n\n# Flags:\n# & Use and instead of or (default)\n# | Use or instead of and (overrides &)\n# ! Use not\n# ( Open a parentheses\n# ) Close a parentheses (can also be at end of entry)\n'¶
