Zenoss::Router::Events - A JSON/ExtDirect interface to operations
on events
use Zenoss;
my $api = Zenoss->connect(

username => 'zenoss username',

This module is NOT instantiated directly. To call methods from
this module create an instance of Zenoss. This document serves as a resource
of available Zenoss API calls to Zenoss.
The following is a list of available methods available for
interaction with the Zenoss API. Please take note of the argument
requirements, defaults and return content.
The documentation for this module was mostly taken from the Zenoss
JSON API docs. Keep in mind that their (Zenoss Monitoring System)
programming is based around python, so descriptions such as dictionaries
will be represented as hashes in Perl.
