FogApi

2002.2.1.2

This module is used to easily run Fog API commands on your fogserver from a powershell console or script.
   This essentially gives you a crossplatform commandline interface for fog tasks and makes many things easier to automate.

   The documentation is hosted on readthedocs at https://fogapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

   To install this module you need at least powershell v3, was created with 5.1 and intended to be cross platform compatible with powershell v6
   To Install this module follow these steps
   * Easiest method: Install from PSGallery https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/FogApi Install-Module -name fogApi

   * Manual Method:
   * download the zip of this repo and extract it and use Import-Module on the extracted path

   The module is now installed.
   You can use Set-fogserverSettings to set your fogserver hostname and api keys.
   The first time you try to run a command the settings.json file will automatically open
   in notepad on windows, nano on linux, or TextEdit on Mac
   You can also open the settings.json file and edit it manually before running your first command.
   The default settings are explanations of where to find the proper settings since json can''t have comments

   Once the settings are set you can have a jolly good time utilzing the fog documentation
   found here https://news.fogproject.org/simplified-api-documentation/ that was used to model the parameters

   i.e.

   Get-FogObject has a type param that validates to object, objectactivetasktype, and search as those are the options given in the documentation.
   Each of those types validates (which means autocompletion) to the core types listed in the documentation.
   So if you typed in Get-FogObject -Type object -Object h and then started hitting tab, it would loop through the possible core objects you can get from the api that start with ''h'' such as history, host, etc.

   Unless you filter a get with a json body it will return all the results into a powershell object. That object is easy to work with to create other commands. Note: Full Pipeline support will come at a later time
    i.e.

    hosts = Get-FogObject -Type Object -CoreObject Host # calls get on http://fog-server/fog/host to list all hosts
    Now you can search all your hosts for the one or ones you''re looking for with powershell
    maybe you want to find all the hosts with ''IT'' in the name (note ''?'' is an alias for Where-Object)
   ITHosts = hosts.hosts | ? name -match ''IT'';

   Now maybe you want to change the image all of these computers use to one named ''IT-Image''
   You can edit the object in powershell with a foreach-object (''%'' is an alias for foreach-object)
   updatedITHosts = ITHosts | % { _.imagename = ''IT-image''}

   Then you need to convert that object to json and pass each object into one api call at a time. Which sounds complicated, but it''s not, it''s as easy as

   updateITHosts | % {
       jsonData = _ | ConvertTo-Json;
       Update-FogObject -Type object -CoreObject host -objectID _.id -jsonData jsonData;
       #successful result of updated objects properties
       #or any error messages will output to screen for each object
   }

   This is just one small example of the limitless things you can do with the api and powershell objects.

   Fixed parantheses typo in get-fogobject and signing issue

# 1.5

   Added dynamic parameters and added get-fogserversettings and set-fogserversettings to allow for setting the api keys and server name in the shell
   One known issue with the dynamic parameters is that they currently are not working as expected with positions they have to be named. i.e. you have to say get-fogobject -type object -coreObject host not Get-FogObject object host like I wanted
   The auto complete works for positional parameters but the function doesn''t seem to think there''s a vaule for the parameter.

# 1.3

   added better description and links, fixed new-fogobject to not require id for all POST api calls as there is no id yet for new items.

# 1.2

   Initial Release, allow for easy manipulation of FOG server data with powershell objects
