It's important that you engage the AAI team before running any adhoc DSL queries. The current process is to have the AAI team vet the DSL queries to make sure the traversal used is optimal and does not cause performance issues in A&AI. As edge rule, rules and schema may change, it is important for clients to communicate the DSL queries that they use. It's important that, at the very least, we know who is using which queries so we can be cautious of changes in the future. And we can help you find the best way to get the data you need.
...
To execute a DSL query, a client will perform a PUT on the dsl endpoint and include a payload that includes the dsl query to be run. The version dictates which release's REST API version the output will be based on.An AID for these custom queries is available on our AID page.

Let's say you got back a large tree of output in the simple format and need to go through the list of objects to understand their relationships. For example, the output returned vnfs, vservers, pservers and complexes but you want to only look at the results of a particular complex. First, we'll find the JSON object for the complex by looking at the result objects for one with "node-type": "complex" and "physical-location-id": (the CLLI of the location you want to filter on) within the "properties" object. Next you would check the "related-to" object array for objects with "node-type": "pserver", take the "id"s and search for objects with those IDs in the results object array. You can keep crawling through the results in this way until you reach the objects you need. You can use this method for any property you want to filter on. {

Optional Query Parameters
...
You can pass a depth query parameter on the resource or resource_and_url formats to indicate what level of child objects you want returned. By default the output will be depth = 1 (first level children).
PUT /aai/v$/query?format={resource OR resource_and_url}&depth= 0
|
Nodes Only
You can pass a nodes only query parameter to have the output only contain the object properties with no relationships. By default the output will be of depth = 1 (first level children and cousin relationships).
PUT /aai/v$/query?format={format}&nodesOnly= true
|
Subgraph
You can pass a subgraph query parameter that determines the behavior of the output. By default, a query returns all of the objects from the query and all of their relationships. Using subgraph=prune returns all of the objects from the query and only the edges between those objects. Using subgraph=star returns all of the objects from the query plus all of the objects they relate to.
PUT /aai/v$/query?format={format}&subgraph={subgraph}
|
Payload
Typically the dsl payload will include a "dsl" portion that includes the dsl query to be run.
{
"dsl" :"customer> service-subscription( 'service-type' , 'example-service-type' ) > service-instance > generic-vnf*( 'vnf-type' , 'example-vnf-type' )( 'model-version-id-local' , '1.0' )
"
}
|
DSL Query Format
Syntax
Symbol | Examples | Description |
---|
[] | [node1, node2] | Used for creating a union between nodes. |
() | node('property','filter') node(> node-filter) | Used for filtering the current node. Can be used with properties or filtering by related nodes, and multiple filters can be applied at once. |
* | node* node*('property','filter') | Used to return the current node, assuming it meets any filters. |
> | node1 > node2 | Used to traverse between nodes |
DSL Requirements and Best Practices
...
Give me a vertex that have the given properties
NODE*( 'key1' , 'value1' )( 'key2' , 'value2' )
NODE -> A&AI node type
* -> store(x) or select *
{
"dsl" : "generic-vnf*('vnf-type','example-vnf-type')('model-version-id-local','1.0') "
}
|
Give me a vertex that do not have the given properties
NODE*!( 'key1' , 'value1' )( 'key2' , 'value2' )
{
"dsl" : "generic-vnf*('vnf-type','example-vnf-type')!('model-version-id-local','1.0') "
}
Give me a generic-vnf with the given vnf-type and model-version-id is NOT 1.0
|
Traversal Query
Traverse through cousin and children
NODE*( 'key1' , 'value1' )( 'key2' , 'value2' ) > NODE2 > NODE3*( 'key3' , 'value3' )
> -> edge traversal
{
"dsl" :"customer> service-subscription( 'service-type' , 'example-service-type' ) > service-instance > generic-vnf*( 'vnf-type' , 'example-vnf-type' )( 'model-version-id-local' , '1.0' )
"
}
|
Where Query(Filter based on a traversal or a subtraversal)
NODE( 'key1' , 'value1' ) > NODE2*(>NODE3( 'key3' , 'value3' ))
{
"dsl" : "customer> service-subscription('service-type','example-service-type') > service-instance(> generic-vnf*('vnf-type','example-vnf-type')('model-version-id-local','1.0') )"
}
Give me service-instances with the given service-type WHERE service-instance is related to a generic-vnf with the given properties
|
Union Query
NODE( 'key1' , 'value1' ) > [ NODE2*(>NODE3( 'key3' , 'value3' )), NODE3*]
{
"dsl" : "customer> service-subscription('service-type','example-service-type') > [ service-instance(> generic-vnf*('vnf-type','example-vnf-type')('model-version-id-local','1.0') ) ,
|
tennanttenant*]"
}
Give me service-instances and tenant related to the given service-subscription
