Description of problem:if two or more providers added( RHOS7-GA,rhos6-ga-ssl etc) which have template with the same name (eg - cirros) [RESTAPI] GET https://10.8.199.11/api/templates {'filter[]': ["name='cirros'"]} will give only 1 result, so it's possible to pick template on wrong provider and provision it there. so provider filter could help to solve this (UI template table has this) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.6.2.0 How reproducible:always Steps to Reproduce: 1.add 2 providers with the same template name 2.try to get whole list of templates matching your filter Actual results:it depends on the order in which providers were added - which template you will get Expected results:get list of templates if there're more than one template matching your filter Additional info: example of the template we currently have - {"href":"https://10.8.199.11/api/templates/1017","id":1017,"vendor":"openstack","name":"cirros","location":"unknown","created_on":"2016-09-15T13:54:10Z","updated_on":"2016-09-15T13:54:10Z","guid":"e10c0a68-7b4b-11e6-a7ea-fa163ee9704b","ems_id":9,"uid_ems":"71469f86-aec6-416c-98b4-b11918709ef3","power_state":"never","state_changed_on":"2016-09-15T13:54:10Z","template":true,"miq_group_id":1,"type":"ManageIQ::Providers::Openstack::CloudManager::Template","ems_ref":"71469f86-aec6-416c-98b4-b11918709ef3","cloud":true,"cloud_tenant_id":3,"raw_power_state":"never","publicly_available":true,"tenant_id":1,"actions":[{"name":"set_ownership","method":"post","href":"https://10.8.199.11/api/templates/1017"},{"name":"delete","method":"delete","href":"https://10.8.199.11/api/templates/1017"}]} It's hard to guess, on which provider is it
The provider of the template can be queried by appending &attributes=ext_management_system to the URL. For example, my testing URL was http://localhost:3000/api/templates?filter[]=name="miq-nightly-201609012000"&expand=resources&attributes=ext_management_system That way you get full visibility into what is the template's provider. I am closing this as not-a-bug. While we could add extra special field for users to query the provider name, we try not to. Every user has slightly different usecase and we soon the defaults would blow-up any limit. We try to provide sane default and offer great customization by querying interface as described in chapter 1.4. Query Specification in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-cloudforms/4.1/red-hat-cloudforms-rest-api/red-hat-cloudforms-rest-api Lastly, this got my attention > [RESTAPI] GET https://10.8.199.11/api/templates {'filter[]': ["name='cirros'"]} > will give only 1 result, If you have two templates of the same name, you should have received two results from the API. I did, when I recreated described situation.
