Geneos XPath package

Documentation

Overview

Package to handle Geneos Gateway specific XPaths

These are a subset of the W3C XPath 1.0 standard and this package is only interested in absolute paths and no matching is done. Geneos XPaths are of a particular hierarchy and the ones we are interesting in here are those used to communicate with the Gateway REST command API.

The two types of path handled are for headline or table cells, which have the form:

/geneos/gateway/directory/probe/managedEntity/sampler/dataview/ ...

... headlines/cell or ... rows/row/cell

Each component except "geneos", "directory", "headlines" and "rows" can have a name and other predicates. The path can terminate at any level that can carry a name. Apart from names, only attributes in managedEntities are currently handled in anyway.

A Geneos Gateway XPath

Each field is a pointer, which if nil means the Xpath terminates at that point The "rows" boolean indicates in lower level components are headlines or rows

func New

func New(element interface{}) *XPath

return an XPath to the level of the element passed, which can be populated with fields.

func NewDataviewPath

func NewDataviewPath(name string) (x *XPath)

return an xpath populated to the dataview, with name dv if no name is passed, create a wildcard dataview path

func NewHeadlinePath

func NewHeadlinePath(name string) (x *XPath)

return an xpath populated to the headline cell, identified by headline

func NewTableCellPath

func NewTableCellPath(row, column string) (x *XPath)

return an xpath populated to the table cell identifies by row and column

func Parse

func Parse(s string) (xpath *XPath, err error)

Parse takes an absolute Geneos XPath and returns an XPath structure.

A leading double slash, e.g. //probe[(@name="myprobe")], results in preceding levels being filled-in and further processing continuing from there. Because of the general purpose nature of the function only levels down to //rows and //headlines are supported. If you need a general path to a cell then you must use either //rows/row/cell or //headlines/cell to ensure the returned path uses the correct structure.

Full wildcards, e.g. `//*`, are not supported as it is not possible to determine the terminating level.

Support for predicates is limited. Currently all components understand "name", e.g. //probe[(@name="probeName")], while "managedEntity" supports multiple "attribute" predicates and table cells (under "rows/row/cell") support "column" (which is used instead of "name").

func (*XPath) IsDataview

func (x *XPath) IsDataview() bool

func (*XPath) IsEmpty

func (x *XPath) IsEmpty() bool

return true is the XPath appears to be empty

func (*XPath) IsEntity

func (x *XPath) IsEntity() bool

func (*XPath) IsGateway

func (x *XPath) IsGateway() bool

func (*XPath) IsHeadline

func (x *XPath) IsHeadline() bool

func (*XPath) IsProbe

func (x *XPath) IsProbe() bool

func (*XPath) IsSampler

func (x *XPath) IsSampler() bool

func (*XPath) IsTableCell

func (x *XPath) IsTableCell() bool

func (XPath) MarshalJSON

func (x XPath) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

return Xpath as a string

func (*XPath) ResolveTo

func (x *XPath) ResolveTo(element interface{}) *XPath

ResolveTo will, given an element type, return a new XPath to that element, removing lower level elements or adding empty elements to the level required. If the XPath does not contain an element of the type given then use the argument (which can include populated fields), but if empty then any existing element will be left as-is and not cleaned.

e.g.

x := x.ResolveTo(&Dataview{})
y := xpath.ResolveTo(&Headline{Name: "headlineName"})

func (*XPath) SetGatewayName

func (x *XPath) SetGatewayName(gateway string)

do we need setters? validation?

func (*XPath) String

func (x *XPath) String() (path string)

return a string representation of an XPath

func (*XPath) UnmarshalJSON

func (x *XPath) UnmarshalJSON(b []byte) (err error)

return an xpath parsed from a string
