While the current interfaces support bulk actions on operate/control operations on resources, there is a need to support bulk queries. Seperate than a filtered search, this is the case where customers have a list of resource identifiers, (id, guid, name, etc) that need to be queried for additional details/attributes. Implementing this by a GET parameter will be limited by character size (i.e. by_guid=guid1,guid2,...) We need to support a new action "query" for all collections. This can be implemented in a generic way, but supporting different identifiers based on the collection, i.e. id, href for all, but guid for vms, hosts, etc. description for groups, etc. Role identifier for the new action would be the same as the resource :read action in api.yml (for Rbac purposes). Example usage would be: POST /api/vms?attributes=power_state,tools_status,.... { "action" : "query", "resources" : [ { "guid" : "...." }, { "guid" : "...." }, ... ] }
