refreshall() method usage

Trying to understand the correct usage of the refreshall method

per documentation:

refreshall()
Refresh all Predefined Objects
This method refreshes all predefined objects. This includes applications, application containers, services,
and tags.
CAUTION: This method requires a lot of overhead on the device api to respond. Response time will vary
by platform, but know that it will generally take longer than a normal api request.

pano = panos.panorama.Panorama(hostname=HOSTNAME, api_key=APIKEY)

pano.about()
{'hostname': '10.10.10.1'}
pano.refreshall()

*** TypeError: refreshall() missing 1 required positional argument: 'parent'

The documentation doesn't seem to indicate an argument is required for the method? What am i doing wrong here?

Python version is 3.6.8

thanks R

Greetings,

The refreshall() is used to return info from the device.

The argument you have to provide is the parent of the object type you are looking to get info on.

Assume you want to get address objects:

pano.add(ADDR)

ADDR = panos.objects.AddressObject()

ADDR_LIST = ADDR.refreshall(pano)

The result is a list of all shared address objects in panorama.
