Pretty basic, query cobbler server over xmlrpc. If you want to query a cobbler server from somewhere else, this will let you do that. If you are querying from the cobbler server, it's probably better to just use the cobber report|list|edit etc method.

usage:

'''cobbler_query.py [-h] [-n HOSTNAME] [-s SERVER] [-g GLOB] [-q] [-k] [-v] [-d] [-c CONFIG] [-l] [-z] [-u USER] [-p PASSWD] [--param PARAM] [--value PARAMVAL] '''

Pass cli options to script

optional arguments:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-n HOSTNAME, --hostname HOSTNAME Hostname to query for.

-s SERVER, --server SERVER Cobbler server.

-g GLOB, --glob GLOB restrict actions to hosts that match regex Example, ./cobbler_query.py -g 'checkout-app0?.prod.' For all the checkout-app0[] in prod

-q, --quiet just tell me what systems match -g or hostname

-k, --koan Return data that koan would see, including expanding inheritance. Only works in conjunction with the n flag

-v, --verbose Extra info about stuff

-d, --debug Set logging level to debug

-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG

                    config file

-l, --list_all List all hosts

-z, --auth ask for authentication data

-u USER, --user USER username

-p PASSWD, --pass PASSWD

                    password

--param PARAM pass a parameter, requires --value also

--value PARAMVAL value of param to query for, requires --param
