First create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the RestObject or RedfishObject class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/ ip address formatted as a string (“https://xx.xx.xx.xx”), iLO login username and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets systems resources and message registries.
Rest Object creation:
REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)
Redfish Object creation:
REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)
Example 25: Clear iLO Event Log¶
The method ex25_clear_ilo_event_log takes an instance of rest object (or redfish object if using Redfish API) as argument.
def ex25_clear_ilo_event_log(restobj):
Find and get the system resource for log service.
instances = restobj.search_for_type("LogService.")
Prepare request body to clear log.
for instance in instances:
if instance["href"].endswith("IEL"):
body = {"Action": "ClearLog"}
Perform POST request to clear the log.
response = restobj.rest_post(instance["href"], body)
restobj.error_handler(response)
