softlayer - Detail information for Auto Scale in SL -

i implementing detail information auto scaling using java api. how can detailed information of member configuration. please refer fields in red box in attached picture. detailed information. example, operation reference code, centos_6_64, how can long type of description centos 6.x - minimal install (64bit).

try using object mask

mask[id, name, status[name, keyname], regionalgroup[id, name, description], suspendedflag, terminationpolicy, cooldown, regionalgroupid, minimummembercount, maximummembercount, balancedterminationflag, networkvlans[ id, networkvlan[ id, name, vlannumber, networkspace, primaryrouter[id,hostname,datacenter[name,longname]],localdiskstoragecapabilityflag,sanstoragecapabilityflag]],virtualguestmembertemplate[hostname,domain,fullyqualifieddomainname,startcpus,maxmemory,hourlybillingflag,localdiskflag,operatingsystem,datacenter,privatenetworkonlyflag,networkcomponents.maxspeed,sshkeys,operatingsystemreferencecode,blockdevices[device,diskimage.capacity],blockdevicetemplategroup.globalidentifier,postinstallscripturi],policies[id,cooldown,name,scaleactions[id,type[id,keyname,name],amount,scaletype],triggers[id,type],triggers(softlayer_scale_policy_trigger_onetime)[date],triggers(softlayer_scale_policy_trigger_repeating)[schedule],triggers(softlayer_scale_policy_trigger_resourceuse)[watches[id,algorithm,metric,operator,period,value]]],loadbalancers[id,port,healthcheck[id,attributes[value,type.keyname],type[id,keyname,name]],virtualserver[id,port,virtualipaddress.ipaddress.ipaddress,virtualipaddress.id,servicegroups.routingtype.name]],virtualguestmembercount] 

here example using python:

but if try copy same information portal, have fun :).

regarding os information cannot via softlayer_scale_group service, need use softlayer_virtual_guest::getcreateobjectoptions method. if see result of method see this:

{             "itemprice": {                 "hourlyrecurringfee": "0",                 "recurringfee": "0",                 "item": {                     "description": "centos 6.x - minimal install (64 bit)"                 }             },             "template": {                 "id": null,                 "operatingsystemreferencecode": "centos_6_64"             }         } 

as can see result contains "operatingsystemreferencecode" , description want to, need record match "operatingsystemreferencecode" value got using softlayer_scale_group::getobject method.

regarding network private or public, here can have scenarios: 1.- public , private has been set. 2.- private has been set.

to determinate have check "privatenetworkonlyflag" property: 1.- if property true, network private 2.- if property has not been set (the default value false) network public , private.

in order same description portal need use softlayer_virtual_guest::getcreateobjectoptions method, result got:

"networkcomponents": [         {             "itemprice": {                 "hourlyrecurringfee": "0",                 "recurringfee": "0",                 "item": {                     "description": "10 mbps public & private network uplinks"                 }             },             "template": {                 "id": null,                 "networkcomponents": [                     {                         "maxspeed": 10                     }                 ],                 "privatenetworkonlyflag": false             }         } 

as can see idea same operating system.

and regard datacenter "first available", guess when call softlayer_scale_group::getobject guess virtualguestmembertemplate.datacenter property empty or not exist, if see can display value "first available".
