#global variables for configuration

$ZENBASE = "http://zenoss.yourdomain.com";
$ZAPIUSER= "username";
$ZAPIPASS = "password";

Function zWinPost
{
param($ROUTER_ENDPOINT, $ROUTER_ACTION, $ROUTER_METHOD, $DATA);

$DATA='['+$DATA+']'

$json = '{"action": "' + $ROUTER_ACTION + '","method": "' + $ROUTER_METHOD + '","data":' + $DATA + ', "tid":1}'
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $ZAPIUSER,$ZAPIPASS)))

$output = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$ZENBASE/zport/dmd/$ROUTER_ENDPOINT" -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Body $json

return $output

}

Function zWinGetDevices
{
$ROUTER_ENDPOINT = "device_router"
$ROUTER_ACTION = "DeviceRouter"
$ROUTER_METHOD = "getDevices"
$DATA = '{}'

$devJSON = zWinPost $ROUTER_ENDPOINT $ROUTER_ACTION $ROUTER_METHOD $DATA

$devJSON.result.devices
}

If you wanted to get just the names of the devices, you would change $devJSON.results.devices to $devJSON.results.devices.name etc.

The -Credential flag only works with challenge authentication. With Zenoss, you send the authentication credentials at the same time as the json

I just answered my own question.

Set $DATA with the parameter and value:

$DATA = '{"limit":500}'

Trying to figure out how to supply a params for a name to lookup. Can anyone help

Attempted variations of this, but does not work.
$DATA = '{"limit":5000,"params":"name.key[$name]"}'

It should be:
$DATA = '{"limit":5000,"params":{"name": $name}}'

Just curious, how would this work if I wanted to return devices under maintenance prodState

$DATA = '{"limit":1000,"params":{"prodState": "Maintenance"}}'

I've tried both the above and the numerical value associated with Maintenance state.

Any Ideas

Check how it works in UI and then you will be able to construct your own filter - http://i.imgur.com/l4kiepS.png
=> $DATA = '{"limit":1000,"params":{"productionState": [300]}}'
