Getting Resource UniqeIdentifier
Trying to extract a resources's UniqeIdentifier via the API but not having success. This is what I am attempting:
>>> api = CloudShellAPISession(QUALI_SERVER, QUALI_USERNAME, QUALI_PASSWORD, QUALI_DOMAIN)
>>> asset = api.GetResourceDetails('NEX-3172-A')
>>> ipAddress = asset.Address
>>> print ipAddress
10.255.138.150
>>> id = asset.UniqeIdentifier
>>> print id
None
Maybe I'm doing something wrong or a setting isn't set correctly within Resource Manager?
Thanks,
Brian
Still having trouble with this.. I was able to track down the unique identifier here within the web UI:
But when I attempt to extract that unique identifier via the API it still does not return any information. I also attempted to perform a FindResources via the unique identifier but that returned None (maybe I'm doing something wrong). Here's how I'm attempting:
>>> print api
<cloudshell.api.cloudshell_api.CloudShellAPISession instance at 0x7fe3d9aba248>
>>> api.GetResourceDetails('CAT-3650-A')
<cloudshell.api.cloudshell_api.ResourceInfo instance at 0x7fe3d900b7a0>
>>> asset = api.GetResourceDetails('CAT-3650-A')
>>> ui = asset.UniqeIdentifier
>>> print ui
None
>>> asset.FullAddress
'10.255.93.140'
>>> findResource = api.FindResources(resourceUniqueIdentifier='c89974c6-60c3-438a-9375-3ff2a176faee')
>>> for data in findResource.Resources:
... print data.Address
...
None

Hi @briantsaunders,
The code above seems correct and works well when I run it.
Try to refresh the search engine (from the CloudShell Monitor tool, select the Quali Server, then on the right side, select the Search tab and click on the Start button).
If you still don't get results after that, please open a ticket and mention anything you already tried.

Hi Brian,
Is it a documentation typo? Should it be asset.UniqueIdentifier? Or did you use auto completion in your IDE?

That's a good point, I didn't even realize it was mis-spelled (that was taken straight from Quali's API documentation). But attempting w/ your suggestion throws an error:
>>> id = asset.UniqueIdentifier
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: ResourceInfo instance has no attribute 'UniqueIdentifier' >>>
Seems like it is a typo in the api package - so you need to keep using it with the typo..
This worked for me:
resource = api.GetResourceDetails(resourceFullPath='resource1')
ui = resource.UniqeIdentifier
Seems like yours @briantsaunders, are you seeing a unique id in the resource manager UI for that resource?
Where within the resource manager UI do I location the unique identifier for a device?
I think it is on the configuration page below the Address field. It is not editable within the UI
