Search for event transform statements?

We've been customizing our event class mappings quite a bit. I remember putting a particular Python expression on the Transform (on the event class, drop-down arrow menu | More| Transform) page of an event class, but I can't remember which one.

Is there any way to find the event classes for which we've supplied transform expressions, or search for a particular expression?

    You could do the following in zendmd:

    
>>> for ec in dmd.Events.getSubOrganizers():
...     if ec.transform:
...         print ec.getOrganizerName()

    Re: RE: Search for event transform statements?

    I  am looking to inspect hundreds of mapping transforms for specific text.  Extending Chet's solution above:

     

       for ec in dmd.Events.getSubOrganizers():
           if( ec.transform and ( ec.transform.find( 'TEXT-TO-FIND' ) >=0 ) ):
               print ec.getOrganizerName()

     

    This is  great for finding forgotten transforms defined on Event Classes, but  what about transforms defined in Event Class Mappings? In zendmd, you  can inspect a single mapping transform directly at (e.g.):

     

         dmd.Events.Event.Class.Path.instances.mappingName.transform

     

    but I have  been playing with zendmd for a while and I am stuck on how to iterate  down this far and check ALL mappings for ALL event classes.

     

    I'm probably  missing something that is obvious to a Python guru (which I am not) and  I am guessing that I am working a problem that has been solved already.  Does anyone in the community have a code fragment that can do what I am  trying to do?

     

    Thanks,

    --Mark

    Try this:

     

    for subclass in dmd.Events.getSubEventClasses():

       if subclass.transform:

          print subclass.getOrganizerName() + ':\n\n'

          print subclass.transform + '\n\n'

     

    It will print all the EventClass transforms except the one for Events itself, which I figure you can get on your own.

    Re: RE: Search for event transform statements?

    Persistence pays off, I figured this out:

    #
    # Print all event class mappings (not event classes) that have transforms with specific text in them:
    #
    for ec in dmd.Events.getSubEventClasses():
        for mapping in ec.instances():
            if mapping.transform and mapping.transform.find('TEXT-TO-FIND')>=0:
                print mapping.absolute_url_path()

    Thanks for your suggestion, phongi!  --Mark S

    How would you be able to use this in getting a dump of every transform on the server?  I have been attempting to use this to retrieve everything, and it is not going well..  Grin..

    OK, here try this attached file. It will print ALL the transforms from a given starting point, just login as zenoss and execute

    python printTransforms.py [path]

     

    use the following for info:

    python printTransforms -h

    or

    python printTransforms --help

    Is this the same as the report in the Event Transforms Report ZenPack?

    Somehow the word Doh! comes to mind..  I totally forgot about that ZenPack...  Yes, that is exactly what I needed.
