API commits no longer working

jasonrakers — Fri, 24 May 2019 12:02:13 GMT

Has anyone encountered this problem? I have noticed since upgrading Panorama to 8.1.7 that two of my API commits no longer work: log collector and forced template stack. I get the following message from Panorama:

<response status="success" code="19">
<msg>There are no changes to commit.</msg>
</response>

However, there are outstanding changes, and I am able to commit them manually through the GUI.

API calls being used:

Log Collector commit -

<commit-all><log-collector-config><log-collector-group>$LC-group</log-collector-group></log-collector-config></commit-all>

Force template stack commit -

<commit-all>

<template-stack>

<name>stack_{{$TEMP-NAME}}</name>

<member>{{$serialnum}}</member>

</device>

<merge-with-candidate-cfg>no</merge-with-candidate-cfg>

<force-template-values>yes</force-template-values>

</template-stack>

</commit-all>

I am going to try downgrading my Panorama install in my lab to test again. The last time i remember i ran these calls successfully was on 8.1.5.

Updated - I tested on 8.1.5 with the same results. I did resolve my problem. I must've edited my API calls at some point and removed the "action=all" paramater:

/api/?type=commit&action=all&cmd=<commit-all>

Hello, we have the same issue with v.8.1.5 and 8.1.7, we confirm it works with "commit all" API string. However in this way we commit all the changes made by other users. Is there any way to make a partial commit related to one user only (API user)?

This should work. I have a script that is tied to a specific user via the API key and whenever it runs to update an address, I have the script only commit the changes made by this user. In my script, I define the $ADMIN variable as my api user.

/api/?&type=commit&action=partial&cmd=<commit><partial><admin><member>$ADMIN</member></admin></partial></commit>
