serviceobject

This module contains ServiceObject implementation.

There is no need to import this module directly. Use the methods of the Ruleset object to create and manipulate ServiceObjects.

>>> o = r.object_add("/ServiceObjects/Test")
>>> o.add("HTTP")
>>> print o.items
['HTTP']

Parameters:

visible (bool) - True or False value for the flag.

Exceptions raised:

ValueError - If the rule is global.

attributes

Arbitrary key/value attributes stored for this object.

Attributes stored on objects doesn't affect ruleset evaluation, and are designed to be used by integrations to assign integration specific data to objects. The client does special handling for some attributes, such as "hidden" and "automatic".

>>> o.attributes
{}
>>> o.attributes['test'] = "Arbitrary string value"
>>> o.attributes
{'test': "Arbitrary string value"}

base_path

Only the type portion of the path

creation_date

Date and time when this object was created

creator

Username that created this object

fullpath

Complete path including name of object

id

Database id of object.

The unique (for this object type) id number used to refer to the object in rule conditions.

is_global

True if this is object is not from the local system

items

List of items associated with this object

machineid

Deprecated method to access 'systemid'.

modification_date

Date and time when this object was last modified

modified

Deprecated method to access 'modification_date'.

modified_by

Username that last modified this object

name

Name of the object.

This is the name of the object, excluding path. Note that name is utf-8 encoded data in a string, to get a unicode string use o.name.decode("utf-8").

To change the name of an object use the rename method.

parent

id of parent object (or zero)

path

Complete path to where the object is excluding the object name.

systemid

System ID of the PacketLogic this object belongs to

type

Number representing the type of object
