Search for Log or Events with /search issue

tleco · 2023-10-20 13:49:54

Hello,
I am trying to search for Log (or Events) with the search engine (using .../apirest.php/search/Log for example), and the API do returns some results into the data key, but those results are all empty.
For example :
GET <glpi_server>/apirest.php/search/Log :

{
"totalcount": 122,
"count": 20,
"sort": [
"1"
],
"order": [
"ASC"
],
"data": [
[],
[],
...
[],
[]
],
"content-range": "0-19/122"
}

Same kind of results are returned when searching on itemType "Glpi%5CEvent".

Also, when trying the route: apirest.php/listSearchOptions/Log
I only get:

{
"common": {
"name": "Characteristics"
}
}

So, does anyone know if I can search for Logs or Events, with queries and filters ?

Thank you

Historical data is not searchable by the current API as that type lacks search options.
There was a pull request to make historical data searchable in GLPI previously, but wasn't added due to concerns about performance:
https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/pull/7658

I don't think that will be added in GLPI. However, you can still get some historical data at the item level by adding a "with_logs=1" query parameter.
Example:
/apirest.php/Computer/1?with_logs=1

That shows the data directly from the database for that item, so it may not be perfectly readable in some cases.

Thank you very much for your answer.
That's a pitty, as I think this PR was exactly what I needed.
In case that rings a bell for anyone, here is what I need to do :
Searching for any ticket that were previously in a certain group, but not anymore, since a precise timestamp.

If anyone has an idea of how to do that, I'm interested

Thanks

GLPI 10.1 will have a new API (alongside the old rather than replacing it) which isn't reliant on the existing GLPI search/search options. It may be possible to allow more access to historical data through the new API, though I haven't started development on historical data at all in the new API yet.
