Basic Core Help Example

This sample invokes and displays the results of the “core help” remote command via the ePO DXL service. The “core help” command lists the remote commands that are exposed by the particular ePO server.

The majority of the sample code is shown below:

# The ePO unique identifier
EPO_UNIQUE_ID = "epo1"

# Create the client
with DxlClient(config) as client:

    # Connect to the fabric
    client.connect()

    # Create the request
    req = Request("/mcafee/service/epo/remote/{0}".format(EPO_UNIQUE_ID))

    # Set the payload for the request (core.help remote command)
    req.payload = \
        json.dumps({
            "command": "core.help",
            "output": "verbose",
            "params": {}
        }).encode(encoding="utf-8")

    # Send the request
    res = client.sync_request(req)
    if res.message_type != Message.MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR:
        # Display resulting payload
        print res.payload.decode(encoding='utf-8')
    else:
        print "Error: {0} ({1}) ".format(res.error_message, str(res.error_code))
