We provide a new header for livestatus that returns the rows in sorted order.
For example, to sort host names in descending order
$ lq 'GET hosts\nColumns: name\nOrderBy: name desc'
zhost
yhost
xhost
...
in ascending order
$ lq 'GET hosts\nColumns: name\nOrderBy: name asc'
ahost
bhost
...
or, alternatively without asc
,
$ lq 'GET hosts\nColumns: name\nOrderBy: name'
ahost
bhost
...
The OrderBy
header can be combined with the Limit
header to
limit the number of results as expected.
$ lq 'GET hosts\nColumns: name\nOrderBy: name\nLimit: 1'
ahost
Furthermore, it is possible to sort on dictionary keys with the following syntax
$ lq << EOF
GET services
Columns: host_name description performance_data
OrderBy: performance_data.user_time
EOF
...
