Bulk update of service groups via API

L1 Bithead

I have a requirement to do a bulk update of a custom service group in Panorama (11.0.1) via the API. This is reading in a list of services from a CSV file. However it only ever applies the last entry in the CSV. What am i doing wrong?  I've tried PUT & POST. Post simply errors with a duplicate entry. A PUT to an existing group only inserts the last entry overwriting everything else.

 

location = {'location': 'shared', 'name': 'TEST-GRP' }

with open ('groups.csv') as f:
reader = csv.DictReader(f)
for row in reader:
member = row['members']

body = json.dumps(
{
"entry":
{
"@name": "TEST-GRP",
"members": { "member" : [ member ]
}
}
}
)

r = requests.put(api_url, params=location, verify=False, headers=headers, data=body)
print(r.text)

 

Contents of groups.csv

members
service-https,
service-http,

give this a go:

 

import json
from pandas import *
data = read_csv("groups.csv")
member_list = data['members'].tolist()
member_set = set(member_list)
unique_member_list = list(member_set)
body = json.dumps(
{
"entry":
{
"@name": "TEST-GRP",
"members": { "member" : unique_member_list
}
}
}
)

print(body)

 

Outputs:

{"entry": {"@name": "TEST-GRP", "members": {"member": ["service-http", "service-https"]}}}

 

tip: conversion from list to set and back is  to remove any duplicates

Just got back to this.

Unfortunately it does not work. I've taken the CSV import out to test also and i still get errors. Tried it with addresses also rather than services:

 

"code":3,"message":"Invalid Object","details":[{"@type":"CauseInfo","causes":[{"code":12,"module":"panui_mgmt","description":"Invalid Object: TEST-GRP -> members unexpected here."}]}]}
{"entry": {"@name": "TEST-GRP", "members": {"member": ["gav-1", "gav-2"]}}}

 

Okay finally got this working so i thought i'd share:

import requests
import json
import csv

 

with open('test.csv', 'r') as read_obj:
csv_reader = csv.reader(read_obj)
MyList = list(csv_reader)

location = {'location': 'shared', 'name': 'TEST-GRP' }

body = json.dumps(
{
"entry": [
{
"@name": "TEST-GRP",
"@location": "Shared",
"static": {
"member": (MyList)
}
}
]
}
)

r = requests.put(api_url, params=location, verify=False, headers=headers, data=body)
print(r.text)
print (body)

Didn't have pandas available to me but got it to work based off of your input. Thanks
