In that case you are searching for DhcpScope, in which the MAC address is a
foreign key. Try looking up the PhysAddr object first, and use the id of the
PhysAddr record in the DhcpScope search.

I think that this is not supported currently. The handle_resource method in
REST.pm passes the search arguments to search() and not search_like. Perhaps a
change could be made to detect wildcards in the query string and make that
decision.

You can't do that with simple REST queries. You can, however, write a special
REST resource to do more complex operations (and of course, contribute it back
to the project)

There is not.

Patches to code and documentation are always welcome.

Greetings,
I am just getting started with Netdot and it's API and am hung up on a few
things.
1) Is there a way to search by mac address? Seems like this should do it
"dhcpscope?physaddr=0026B98D9FFE"
but throws an error. My workaround is to get the entire dhcpscope table and
search through the results.
2) What is the syntax for wildcards in a search. For example, give me all
hostnames that match "*-sw-*".
3) How can I join multiple tables in one query. For example, return the
hostname and IP address for everything where "monitored=true" (join Ipblock and
rraddr).
4) Is there a way to limit the fields returned? For example, given a hostname
just return it's IP address.
As I said, I'm new to Netdot and using an API (normally I would query a
database directly). Any help and/or API examples beyond what is in the
documentation would be appreciated. I am using Netdot::Client::REST with Perl.
Thanks,
Mark
