module Openwsman

About openwsman¶ ↑

Openwsman (www.openwsman.org) is a project intended to provide an open-source implementation of the Web Services Management specification (WS-Management) and to expose system management information on the Linux operating system using the WS-Management protocol. WS-Management is based on a suite of web services specifications and usage requirements that exposes a set of operations focused on and covers all system management aspects.

Using the bindings¶ ↑

The bindings provide access to the client-side API of openwsman. You start by creating a Client instance and set up ClientOptions to control the communication.

The Client instance now provides the WS-Management operations, like enumerate, get, invoke, etc.

All client operations return a XmlDoc representing the SOAP response from the system. # You can then use XmlDoc methods to extract SOAP elements from the response and dig down through its XmlNode and XmlAttr objects.

Public Class Methods

epr_prefix_for (classname, namespace = nil)

Source

# File openwsman/openwsman.rb, line 81
def self.epr_prefix_for classname, namespace = nil
  prefix = Openwsman::uri_prefix classname
  prefix += "/#{namespace}" if namespace && !namespace.empty?
  prefix
end

return endpoint-reference (EPR) prefix for given classname and namespace

classname - classname (using the <schema>_<name> format)
namespace - optional namespace, required for Windows WMI which embeds the namespace in the EPR

Examples¶ ↑

prefix = Openwsman.epr_prefix_for "CIM_Managed_Element"
=> "http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2"
prefix = Openwsman.epr_prefix_for "Win32_Foo", "root/cimv2"
=> "http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2"

epr_uri_for (namespace, classname)

Source

# File openwsman/openwsman.rb, line 95
def self.epr_uri_for namespace, classname
  raise "Namespace must not be nil" unless namespace
  raise "Classname must not be nil" unless classname
  epr = epr_prefix_for(classname,namespace) + "/#{classname}"
end

create full endpoint reference URI for namespace and classname

classname - classname (using the <schema>_<name> format)
namespace - optional namespace, required for Windows WMI which embeds the namespace in the EPR

Examples¶ ↑

Openwsman.epr_uri_for "root/cimv2", "Win32_Foo"
=> "http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_Foo"
