Re: [Engine-devel] Getting Hosts in a Data Center using the oVirt API
Hey Michael,
That's really helpful! I didn't know you could use queries like in the
search bar within the API. Thanks for the help!

Almost all root collections (such as hosts in your case), supports
querying using
very same engine search dialect, so actually you can go to UI, combine
query,
(use auto-completion) and use it in SDK, e.g:
List<Host> hosts = api.getHosts().list("datacenter = mydatacenter", null,
null);
hope it helps.
