how to add a tagfilter?

[Letshadow]

Hello again, I am carrying out a project to verify configurations in CUCM.
When I search for a specific user I can access the information very easily, I summarize:

EU=>End User
DN=>Directory number
DV=>Device

but when I go to do it globally there are many tagfilters that are not enabled,
L=>List
In Red: it is essential for verification
In yellow: not essential
In blue: current method

I understand that it is due to performance problems, the fact is that I know that it can be a long process but I have a powerful machine and I am willing to wait to fill the lists to do a correct debugging on my platform, it would be a monthly process or something similar .

Can you give me instructions to modify the library by enabling the missing tags filter?

In the SOAP I notice that the fields of what I expect to be the list of users (LUser) are specified, would I have to edit it?

<xsd:complexType name="LUser">
        <xsd:sequence minOccurs="0">
            <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="firstName" type="xsd:string"/>
            <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="middleName" type="xsd:string"/>
            <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" firstname="lastname" type="xsd:string"/>
.
.
.
            <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="user identity" type="xsd:string">
                <xsd:annotation>
                    <xsd:documentation>The value must be in the format user@domain</xsd:documentation>
                </xsd:annotation>
            </xsd:element>
        </xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:attribute name="uuid" type="axlapi:XUUID"/>
    </xsd:complextype>

in the axl library I don't know where the fields are enabled, but I know that the zeep library uses them to print the error with enabled fields

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of AXL, not the library. get_phones, get_users, and get_directory_numbers all use 'list' calls instead of 'get' like their singular counterparts. The AXL schema specifies that nearly all 'list' calls must provide a valid 'returnedTags' attribute (this is what tagfilter directly assigns to). With 'get' calls, this is optional and AXL will return all tags if 'returnedTags' is not supplied.

There is currently not a way to ask AXL to return all tags on a 'list' call without specifying every single tag manually. Again, the work done in #30 will make this a non-issue, but that is not ready to be implemented yet.

For now, the workaround I would suggest is pulling lists of all users, DN's, and phones but using an empty tagfilter. This will only provide a 'uuid' for each item, but you can then use that to search for your user/DN/phone directly. A basic example of this would be:

phones = []
users = []
dns = []

phone_uuids = [phone.uuid for phone in ucm.get_phones(tagfilter={})]
user_uuids = [user.uuid for user in ucm.get_users(tagfilter={})]
dn_uuids = [dn.uuid for dn in ucm.get_directory_numbers(tagfilter={})]

for p_uuid in phone_uuids:
    phones.append(ucm.get_phone(uuid=p_uuid))

for u_uuid in user_uuids:
    users.append(ucm.client.getUser(uuid=u_uuid))  # need to use client here, get_user doesn't have a uuid/args parameter

for d_uuid in dn_uuids:
    dns.append(ucm.get_directory_number(uuid=d_uuid))

Depending on how many users/phones/DNs you have however, the multiple 'get' requests can take a LONG time to finish. If you have experience with threading, I would suggest using a ThreadPoolExecutor with a max worker rate of around 50 (depending on how many resources are allocated to your UCM publisher, you could go higher).

Sounds like a brilliant solution to me, although it also says it will take more time to use the uuid, it may be what I need, I've never used ThreadPoolExecutor but will learn, again thanks for your prompt response,I will wait anxiously to the patch per #30.

I haven't used github much apart from saving things so I'm not very good at comments and stuff, but if you have any boilerplate work or something you think I can help you with, I'd be happy to help. :)
