How to execute operational commands via XML API for selected virtual system

miduchp — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 09:52:45 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible to execute operational commands via XML API for selected virtual system. E.g ?

https://<IP_address>/api/?type=op&cmd=<SOME_COMMAND_HERE>&key=<API_KEY>

Can I specify somehow in context of which VSYS this should be executed ? Is there any property which can be used ?

Regards,

Piotr

You can use operational commands in API the same way of the CLI:

- if you cannot use a command in the CLI, you cannot used in the API

For example with the CLI you can execute: show object static ip <ip/netmask> vsys <value>

You can navigate all XML URL using this link: https://<Firewall IP>/api

Kind Regards.

Append "&vsys={vsys_name}" to your request to target a specific vsys

This should work for any op command in a multi-vsys system

in your example:

https://<IP_address>/api/?type=op&cmd=<SOME_COMMAND_HERE>&key=<API_KEY>&vsys=vsys1

this is what im trying to accomplish but i keep getting errors. object_string will dynamically be learned in another part of my script.

'https://johns.panorama.com/api/?type=op&cmd=<show><object><dynamic-address-group>'+object_string+'</dynamic-address-group></object></show>&key=' + api_key +'&vsys=Private'

Any suggestions
