Updating nested dict list keys - tbaror - Feb-09-2022
Hello ,
I am trying to update values in in dict that construct from nested dict and list the dict as follows
dict_file ={'job_name': 'system', 'static_configs': [{'targets': ['localhost'], 'labels': {'job': 'varlogs', '__path__': '/var/log/*log', 'host': 'grafana'}}]}I can get the values of the desired keys as shown below but don't know how to update them job_name = dict_file.get('job_name')
host_name = dict_file.get('static_configs')[0].get('labels').get('host')
path_name = dict_file.get('static_configs')[0].get('labels').get('__path__')Please advice Thanks

>>> dict_file = {'job_name': 'system', 'static_configs': [{'targets': ['localhost'], 'labels': {'job': 'varlogs', '__path__': '/var/log/*log', 'host': 'grafana'}}]}
>>> dict_file['job_name']
'system'
>>> dict_file['static_configs'][0]['labels']['host']
'grafana'
>>> dict_file['static_configs'][0]['labels']['__path__']
'/var/log/*log'
>>> dict_file['job_name'] = 'my_job'
>>> dict_file['static_configs'][0]['labels']['host'] = 'my_host'
>>> dict_file['static_configs'][0]['labels']['__path__'] = '/my_path'
>>> dict_file['job_name']
'my_job'
>>> dict_file['static_configs'][0]['labels']['host']
'my_host'
>>> dict_file['static_configs'][0]['labels']['__path__']
'/my_path'
