The watcherclient.client Module

watcherclient.client.Client(version, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Initialize client object based on given version.

HOW-TO: The simplest way to create a client instance is initialization with your credentials:

>>> from watcherclient import client
>>> watcher = client.Client(VERSION, USERNAME, PASSWORD,
...                      PROJECT_ID, AUTH_URL)

Here VERSION can be a string or watcherclient.api_versions.APIVersion obj. If you prefer string value, you can use 1 or 1.X (where X is a microversion).

Alternatively, you can create a client instance using the keystoneauth session API. See “The watcherclient Python API” page at python-watcherclient’s doc.

watcherclient.client.get_client(api_version, os_auth_token=None, watcher_url=None, os_username=None, os_password=None, os_auth_url=None, os_project_id=None, os_project_name=None, os_tenant_id=None, os_tenant_name=None, os_region_name=None, os_user_domain_id=None, os_user_domain_name=None, os_project_domain_id=None, os_project_domain_name=None, os_service_type=None, os_endpoint_type=None, insecure=None, timeout=None, os_cacert=None, ca_file=None, os_cert=None, cert_file=None, os_key=None, key_file=None, os_infra_optim_api_version=None, max_retries=None, retry_interval=None, session=None, os_endpoint_override=None, **ignored_kwargs)[source]

Get an authenticated client, based on the credentials.
