REST API: set: service

hottija — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 07:30:52 GMT

Hi,

I tried to set a new service using action=set and it gives me an error

"set failed, may need to override template object first”

And if I use action=override

"Object cannot be overridden”

Can anyone help me to get this done?

https://[IP-ADDRESS]/api/?type=config&action=set&key=[AUTHKEY]&xpath=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name=%27vsys1%27]/service/entry/[@name=%27huuhaa%27]&element=<protocol>tcp<port>555</port></protocol>

I have tried the following syntax and it has worked for me

https://10.50.243.57/api/?type=config&action=set&key=LUFRPT1wTlZDZzlqdVhncWpMcE9QVG9LSTF0OTlBWG89M0R1SDRxZGRuL20vcGFkQ29reHlKdz09&xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/service/entry[@name='test']&element=<protocol><tcp><port>1</port></tcp></protocol>

Let us know if that worked or not.
