Check_MK Werk 6966: Expose HW/SW inventory via HTTP API

ID: 6966 Title: Expose HW/SW inventory via HTTP API Component: HW/SW Inventory Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 1.6.0i1 Check_MK already has an API to retrieve the HW/SW inventory (see Werk #3585), but it is totally separate from the rest of our usual HTTP API. Now a new <tt>get_inventory</tt> call has been added to the latter, and this is now the recommended way to retrieve the HW/SW inventory. The <tt>get_inventory</tt> call has one mandatory key <tt>hosts</tt>, which has to be a list of host names for which the inventory should be retrieved. In addtion, two optional keys are supported: <ul> <li><tt>paths</tt>: a list of inventory paths for filtering the inventory tree</li> <li><tt>site</tt>: the site to use</li> </ul>
