##

#### QueryOptions

Type: object

If the query-option `force_sql_filters` is true, then the query will be converted into a more efficient form for better performance. This will not be possible if filters use keys within `svc_data` and `event_data`.

No Additional Properties

##

#### Extra

Type: object Default: {}

Extra options are defined on a per-endpoint basis and are described in the documentation for the associated query method.

##

#### Order By

Type: array of string Default: []

An array of field names describing the manner in which query results should be ordered. The field names may also have one of more of the following special prefixes: `-` (reverse sort direction), `nulls_first:` (place any null values at the head of the results list), `nulls_last:` (place any null values at the tail of the results list).

No Additional Items

##### Each item of this array must be:

Type: string
Example:

    [
        "size",
        "-devname",
        "nulls_first:-expiretime"
    ]

##

#### Select

Type: array Default: []

An array of field names specifying the exact fields to include in the query return. The dot character `.` may be used to explicitly select only subkeys of the query result.

No Additional Items

##### Each item of this array must be:

## Any of

Type: string

##### Each item of this array must be:

Type: object
Example:

    [
        "username",
        "Authentication.status"
    ]

##

#### Count

Type: boolean Default: false

Return a numeric value representing the number of items that match the specified `query-filters`.

##

#### Get

Type: boolean Default: false

Return the JSON object of the first result matching the specified `query-filters`. The query fails if there specified `query-filters` return no results.

##

#### Offset

Type: integer Default: 0

This specifies the beginning offset of the results array. When combined with the `limit` query-option it may be used to implement pagination of large results arrays. WARNING: some query methods provide volatile results and the onus is on the developer to understand whether pagination is appropriate for a particular query API method.

##

#### Limit

Type: integer Default: 0

This specifies the maximum number of results matching the specified `query-filters` to return. When combined wtih the `offset` query-option it may be used to implement pagination of large results arrays.

WARNING: Some query methods provide volatile results and the onus is on the developer to understand whether pagination is appropriate for a particular query API method.

##

#### Force Sql Filters

Type: boolean Default: false

Force use of SQL for result filtering to reduce response time. May not work for all methods.

##

#### Remote Controller

Type: boolean Default: false

HA systems may direct the query to the 'remote' controller by including 'remote_controller=True'. The default is the 'current' controller.

##

#### Export Format

Type: enum (of string) Default: "JSON"

Format for exporting audit data.

##### Must be one of:

- "CSV"
- "JSON"
- "YAML"

##

#### Result

Type: string
