REST API to update Panorama Servers in Firewall

Hi all

I wonder can anyone offer some insight, I am trying to write a script to update all of the panorama server settings on a given list of firewalls. That's all fine but I am having an issue with the actual rest api -

I used debug CLI output to determine the syntax in order to build the command and it looks right according to the guides I've read, however it doesnt' work. I am testing against a local VM running 7.1.

To test I am trying - (I've replaced my key below with key_removed and the IP addresses with x.x.x.x)

https://x.x.x.x/api/type=config&action=set&xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/deviceconfig/system<panorama-server>x.x.x.x</panorama-server><panorama-server-2>x.x.x.x</panorama-server-2>&key=key_removed

It fails with the following -

<response status="error" code="13">
<msg>
<line>
Could not find schema node for xpath /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/deviceconfig/system
<panorama-server>x.x.x.x</panorama-server>
<panorama-server-2>x.x.x.x</panorama-server-2>
</line>
</msg>
</response> 
So I know something is wrong with the xpath, but I can't seem to figure out what.
 
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong ?
 
Thanks
James

Nevermind I found the issue, I needed to add &element= as per below -

https://x.x.x.x/api/type=config&action=set&xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/deviceconfig/system&element=<panorama-server>x.x.x.x</panorama-server><panorama-server-2>x.x.x.x</panorama-server-2>&key=key_removed

Hope this helps somebody else.
