Hooks Inventory

“Design and Define a Query once, reuse them forever…”

A ‘Hook’ is a mechanism used to query and retrieve data from different sources such as database, device, or external vendors; and leverage them as part of the report building process. The mode of query could be either through – Script, REST API and Query Explorer.

For example, a query to retrieve a list of managed BIG-IP F5 devices from the database can be defined once and reused across one or more workflow(s).

There are 3 ways of querying data through hooks:

REST API
Script (Python)
Query Explorer (GUI based)
