Device (Business) Service automation

Does anyone have example code for creating/deleting device services, API or GQL?

    I have an excellent leg up on this task thanks to Jonathan Chivers. I will include the code at some point.

To use this script you need to:

  1. Create a Device Service that has a device search filter that covers what will be common to all instances of this service, such as 'name contains 'Kirk'
  2. Run the script from a CLI 

    python bs_install_from_template.py --url https://<your cdb IP>/gql --user “<user-name>” --template “<template-name>” --org "<organization>" --nameKey "<unique-value>”

  3. The new Device Service will have unique-value appended to its name and the device search filter will become 
  4. 'name contains 'Kirk' and name contains unique-value
