[Spacewalk-list] exporting configuration channel data

[Josh.Mullis at cox.com]

Here's a script I have that grabs the raw config file contents...
(You may want to remove the "org" stuff if you only have 1 org)

I also have that grabs the custom info for a given system.
Let me know if you would like that one as well.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Frontier::Client;

my $orgname = $ARGV[0];
if (!$orgname)
{
   print "Command Syntax:  spacewalk-get-cfg-file.pl <org_name> <config_chan> <file_path>\n";
   exit;
}

my $cfgchan = $ARGV[1];
if (!$cfgchan)
{
   print "Command Syntax:  spacewalk-get-cfg-file.pl $orgname <config_chan> <file_path>\n";
   exit;
}

my $file = $ARGV[2];
if (!$file)
{
   print "Command Syntax:  spacewalk-get-cfg-file.pl $orgname $cfgchan <file_path>\n";
   exit;
}


my $HOST = 'localhost';
my $user = "$orgname-apiuser";
my $pass = 'YOUR_PASS';

my $client = new Frontier::Client(url => "http://$HOST/rpc/api");
my $session = $client->call('auth.login',$user, $pass);


@files = ( "$file" );

my $filedetails = $client->call('configchannel.lookupFileInfo', $session, $cfgchan, \@files);
foreach my $filedetail (@$filedetails) {
   print $filedetail->{'contents'}."\n";
}



$client->call('auth.logout', $session);

My immediate though when I saw this post was how would (potential)
macros in the config files be handled as these introduce 'uniqueness'
in the files.

Maybe a new API call in the configchannel namespace called
'getRawFile(String sessionKey, String chanLabel, String fileName)'
returning a structure similar to 'server.config.lookupFileInfo' but
the 'contents' would be raw?
