Query parameters

Parameters	Required / Optional	Description
filterWith=`{filter}`	Optional	Returns only the events that apply to the specified filters, where `{filter}` is a JSON object in the following format. `{ "filterType": "{filter_type}", "fields": [{ "field": "{filter}", "operation": "{operation}", "value": "{value}" }] }` For more information, see Filtering events.
sort=`{event_field}`	Optional	Returns events that are sorted by the specified event field. To sort in descending order, add a dash (-) to the event field.
type=excluded	Optional	Returns only exclude events
translations=`{JSON_filter}`	Optional	Returns translated events based on the criteria that is specified using encoded JSON format (see GET /events?translations={JSON_filter})
escapeHTML=`{Boolean}`	Optional	Indicates whether to replace escape characters in the message with special characters (for example, "). This can be one of the following values. true. Replaces escape characters with special characters in the returned message. false. Does not replaces escape characters in the returned message. Note Escape characters must be included in arguments when there is HTML in message descriptions.

The following example returns a list of excluded events sorted by the local log sequence and replaces escape characters in the message with special characters:

GET https://192.0.2.0/events?sort=localLogSequence&type=excluded&escapeHTML=true

The following example returns only events that have a cn (sequence ID) greater than 1.

GET https://<Server IP Address>/events?filterWith={"filterType":"FIELDNOTREGEXAND",
"fields":[{"field":"cn","operation":"GT"," value":"1"}]}

The following example returns translated events using specific criteria:

Attributes	Required / Optional	Description
Range	Optional	Request the events with the given range of sequence numbers. If the range goes beyond the actual available sequence numbers, the start of the range through the last sequence number is returned. For example: `GET /events Range: item=0-24 -------- Response Header: Content-Range: 0-24/3000` Note When retrieving events from Lenovo XClarity Administrator, use the sequence numbers to verify that no events are missing. If the sequence number of an event is not sequential with that last event that you retrieved for the target device, perform another GET /events to request the events that are associated with all the sequence numbers that you missed.
