I'm looping through the decoded JSON returned from Pingdom's "Get Detailed Check Information"-API. I'm trying to print the URL in the JSON data, but I'm having a hard time doing so.
Here is the JSON response I got:
{
"check" : {
"id" : 85975,
"name" : "My check 7",
"resolution" : 1,
"sendtoemail" : false,
"sendtosms" : false,
"sendtotwitter" : false,
"sendtoiphone" : false,
"sendnotificationwhendown" : 0,
"notifyagainevery" : 0,
"notifywhenbackup" : false,
"created" : 1240394682,
"type" : {
"http" : {
"url" : "/",
"port" : 80,
"requestheaders" : {
"User-Agent" : "Pingdom.com_bot_version_1.4_(http://www.pingdom.com/)"
}
}
},
"hostname" : "s7.mydomain.com",
"status" : "up",
"lasterrortime" : 1293143467,
"lasttesttime" : 1294064823
}
}
And here's my Perl code that should print the URL:
my $decoded_info = decode_json($json) or die "Failed to decode!\n";
foreach my $check( $decoded_info->{check}) {
print "$decoded_info->{$check}->{type}->{http}->{url}\n";
}
I've read the Perl reference and a tutorial but it still doesn't work.
You want
$decoded_info->{check}->{type}->{http}->{url} # ok
and $check
has the value of
$decoded_info->{check};
so you should be using
$check->{type}->{http}->{url} # ok
instead of
$decoded_info->{$check}->{type}->{http}->{url} # BAD
By the way,
my $check = $decoded_info->{check};
...
is simpler than
foreach my $check( $decoded_info->{check}) {
...
}
