This is a fork of Mattias Kettner's mk_livestatus. It has been ported to Naemon by OP5 and contains some extra features such as sorting and page offsets. This branch is being maintained by the Naemon team until such a time comes when everything we need has been merged back upstream.

=== Differences between mk_livestatus and naemons fork of livestatus ===

Three additions to Livestatus Query Language is added:

Sort: <asc/desc>

Sorts the result set by the specified column in the given direction. Multiple Sort lines can be added. First sort line takes precedance.

Example:

GET hosts Sort: last_hard_state_change desc

Offset:

Lines to skip from the beginning of the result set. Useful for pagination in combination with Limit header.

Example:

GET services Sort: host_name asc Sort: description asc Limit: 100 Offset: 300

OutputFormat: wrapped_json

An extension to the json output format. The result set is packed in a json object, with a couple of possible fields:

• columns: an array of column names. (optional)
• data: an array of arrays, describing the result set, in the same syntax common json output, without embedded column names.
• total_count: The number of lines in the resultsed, except the limitation of Limit and Offset headers.
