show config running xpath syntax

L0 Member

Hello,

I try to figure out the correct sytax for the xpath option of the show config running CLI-command (running PAN-OS 3.0.6).

? says:

+ xpath    xpath of the node to retrieve

but every way I tried to describe the node I want gives me a "Invalid syntax".

Thanks! Playing around with this, I've learned I can't get every node within the configuration tree, e.g.

show config running xpath shared/log-settings/syslog works fine, but

show config running xpath mgt-config/users/admin does not.

So in the devices section, I can't reach anything below devices/localhost.localdomain, but that would be the interesting part...

These element nodes that can be used with the show config running xpath command;

admin@PA-500> show config running xpath devices
devices {
  localhost.localdomain {
    network {
      interface {
        ethernet {
          ethernet1/1 {
            virtual-wire ;    

              etc....

admin@PA-500> show config running xpath shared

shared {
  signature ;
  application ;
  application-group ;
  service ;
  service-group ;
  log-settings {
    syslog {
      Al-Syslog {
        server 10.16.0.232;
        port 514;
        facility LOG_USER;

            etc....

admin@PA-500> show config running xpath mgt-config

mgt-config {
  devices {
    localhost.localdomain {
      ip 127.0.0.1;
      vsys {
        vsys1 { }
             etc...

Additional notes:

admin@mgmt-kestrel>  show config running xpath "shared/profiles/virus"          

virus  {

  custom-av  {

    decoder  {

      ftp  {

        action  block;

       }

      http  {

        action  block;

       }

      imap  {

        action  block;

       }

      pop3  {

        action  block;

       }

      smb  {

...

To get details of specific profile named 'custom-av'

show config running  xpath  "shared/profiles/virus/entry[@name='custom-av']"

custom-av  {

  decoder  {

    ftp  {

      action  block;

     }

    http  {

      action  block;

     }

    imap  {

      action  block;

     }

    pop3  {

      action  block;

     }

    smb  {

..

Can someone give the solution in order to see only the deviceconfig node?

Thks

Remi

show config running xpath devices/entry[@name="localhost.localdomain"]/deviceconfig
