Issue #4053 has been updated by Jeff McCune. Subject changed from better tools for deserializing node groups, classes, nodes from external sources to Dashboard should provide an API to insert and extract data
>From the PS conversation: "There should be an API to facilitate import / >export of data into and out of the dashboard." Additional design decision will be necessary to implement. A third party tool, external to the dashboard will provide import export functionality using the API. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4053: Dashboard should provide an API to insert and extract data http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4053 Author: Dan Bode Status: Unreviewed Priority: High Assigned to: Category: Target version: 1.1 Keywords: Branch: Affected URL: As an example: problem: it is cumbersome to specify initial data in the dashboard (groups, nodes, classes). linux sysadmins would rather work with configuration files (text) than GUIs it would be great if I could write a yaml file to represent my group data and import it into the dashboard. <pre> groups: a: x:1 y:1 z:1 classes: - one - two b: x:2 classes - one nodes: node1: :classes - one :groups - two </pre> maybe this is already at least partially solved by the restful API? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
