Retrieve apps using XML API

emr_1 — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 07:26:51 GMT

Hi, all

I'm trying to retrieve application datail information which can be seen in CLI 'show predefined application' by using XML API.

Is there any way to retrieve predefined informations?

Regards,

Emr

Along the same lines here, is there a comprehensive document available that has all of the possible arguments (and syntax) for restapi.esp?

For instance, I have been searching for a way to get the current "ACC Risk Factor" value from this api with no luck so far....

Also, there are quite a few other targeted statistics I would like to get..

Anyone know if such a resource exists??

Thanks!

I very much need this as well. The API can't really be used in a functional way without some documentation into all of the possible calls available.

This query is working for me on 5.0:

http://hostname/esp/restapi.esp?key=keyvalue&type=config&action=get&xpath=/config/predefined/application

I would like to query for apps belonging to subcategory=database or technology=peer-2-peer. I tried these paths, and the result is success but no contents.

xpath=/config/predefined/application-filter

xpath=/config/predefined/application-filter/database

xpath=/config/predefined/application-filter=peer-to-peer

The API returns a full list, or a specific app. For other type of filtering, you need to do it as post-processing of the returned data.
