-Filter by id

[aggie87]

For some reason I can't filter by the id property. When I submit the following command

Get-LMDevice -Filter `id -eq 173'

I get all devices returned. I have tried multiple methods, including putting quotes around the 173. When i issue the -Debug command I see the following URL being invoked which looks correct per the REST API Basic Filters documentation

Get-LMDevice -Filter `id -eq 173' - Debug
DEBUG: Constructed Filter-v2: id%3a173
DEBUG: Invoked Command: Get-LMDevice
DEBUG: Bound Parameters: [Filter:id -eq 173] [Debug:True]
DEBUG: Invoked URL: https://xxxxxxx.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest/device/devices?filter=id%3a173&size=1000&offset=0&sort=+id

it appears I can filter on any other property but the id property.

You should be able to just use the -Id parameter instead of filter.

Get-LMDevice -Id 123

Yeah if all I was doing was that, but I am trying to write a filter that filters something else and excludes a specific id. So, I simplified this issue by just filtering on the id property to demonstrate that property doesn't appear to be "filterable"...is that a word? :-)

I figured that was the case :). Let me take a look and see if I can figure out why that's happening. I'm at a conference for the next few days but I'll see if I can take a look when I get a moment.

i think it may be a bug in the API...i couldn't even get it to work in Postman. I opened a ticket with support lettng them know the API wasn't working as advertised, but a 2nd set of eyes, for my sanity, is always a good idea :)

I did get feedback from support that this is a bug in the API. They said they were going to open a ticket with the DEV team but can't see that ticket ID.

Thanks I saw the ticket I'll take a look and make sure to track it's updates

Just wanted to update you that I did see the internal ticket for this bug marked as resolved in portal v230 which i think is slated for around the first week of December depending on where your portal is located.
