Go to Dynamic Application editor and there in Alerts page and then open Guide, search for tab_idx the example code looks like this: o_999 != 5 and tab_idx in [’.1’,’.3’,’.4’,’.6’] and explanation in the same page looks like this: Surround each index with single-quotation marks ( ‘ ) The error is not that easily visible but the single-quotation mark is ('). And even if you have done some python already before doing your copy-paste from guide to alert property window and you are like normal human and tend to believe documentation you end up having lots of system errors. The error itself is a not that self-explanatory because it blames us about using non-ascii characters in code. This issue was found on 12.1.2 and is tested to be on 12.3.4 also.Solved43Views0likes2CommentsScienceLogic rest api x-em7-run-as header validation
We discovered that after updating our SL1 platform from 12.1 to 12.3 that the validation of the rest api request header "X-EM7-RUN-AS" has changed and is now more strict. In SL 12.1, we can (for example) delete an event using admin credentials and use the x-em7-run-as header to actually execute the request on behalf of a different user (in our scenario we use a customer-specific account). We used '/api/account/<accountid>' as a value for this header. Since SL 12.3 (or somewhere after 12.1), we noticed that '/api/account/<accountid>' is no longer accepted: any rest api call using the x-em7-run-as with value '/api/account/<accountid>' will return a HTTP 401 Unauthorized with corresponding message: { "errors": [ { "errorcode": "NO_AUTH", "message": "Valid authentication credentials not provided" } ], "messages": [], "resource_body": null } However, if I simply put '<accountid>' as the value for this header, the request succeeds. Can you please improve the documentation (https://docs.sciencelogic.com/api-developer-docs/Content/Web_Content_Dev_and_Integration/ScienceLogic_API/methods_headers_and_responses.htm#request-headers) and specify that the value for this header must be a number which matches a real user in the system. Also, the request also fails when using an account id value and that account is Inactive. Would be nice to read it in the docs. error message when trying to execute an action on a suspended user: { "errors": [ { "errorcode": "NO_AUTH", "message": "Account \u0027em7admin\u0027 failed authentication due to 1 account restriction(s)" } ], "messages": [ "This account is marked as \u0022inactive\u0022" ], "resource_body": null }Solved54Views1like1CommentThis week's updates to the Doc sites at docs.sciencelogic.com
