Luc,

Not sure how to do the perl version I will make a ticket to track adding an example of this to to the wiki. You should be able to make the request by passing a perl hash to an xml-rpc proxy object in perl (of course I don't know what library you should use :( )

I just used the script that was on the zenoss wiki. After some playing around with the connection strings, it seems that we had to specify the username password pair at the front of the URL and / zport/dmd/ZenEventManager at the end of the URL. This is over port 8080.

Later today, one of my collegues managed to get the proxy server going, so we can now use the script posted on the wiki as is.

I'm now trying to get a perl version working, since most of our scripts are Perl already and our expertise is in Perl and not Python. After trying multiple XML-RPC Perl clients/ implementations, I still can get the event to register. Would you have a Perl example that we could use as a base ? I know that it has to do with the format of the data that is being sent to the RPC server.

Thanks

Luc,

Using the XML-RPC API is the way to do what you want. It should work
-- can you send the errors you got? You may want to send your script, too...
