Python bindings to the Surveil API
==================================
This is a client library for Surveil built on the Surveil API.
Command-line API
----------------
Installing this package gets you a shell command, ``surveil``, that you
can use to interact with the Surveil API.
You'll need to provide the Surveil API URL. You can do this with the
``--surveil-api-url`` parameter, but it's easier to just set it as environment
variable::
export SURVEIL_API_URL=http://localhost:8080/v1
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running ``surveil help``.
Bash completion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Basic command tab completion can be enabled by sourcing the bash completion script::
source /usr/local/share/monasca.bash_completion
Python API
----------
To use the python API, simply create a client with the endpoint::
from surveilclient.v1_0 import client
c = client.Client('http://localhost:8080/v1')
hosts = c.hosts.list()
