Disable rule using XML API 5.0

[ggoudr]

Dear alll,

I am trying to disable a specific rule from the security policy using the XML api...

I am sending the following URL:

https://192.168.1.1/api/?type=config&action=edit&key=<my_key_here>=&xpath=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry/rulebase/security/rules/entry[@name='rule1']&element=<disabled>yes</disabled>

But as a result I get the following error:

<response status="error" code="12"><msg><line>Edit breaks config validity</line></msg></response>

What am I doing wrong?

George

Try changing the action to "action=set", rather than edit.

[ksteves1]

edit wants an xpath node which 'overlaps' with the element (XML) data, so add '/disabled' at the end of your xpath.

https://mgt-ip/api/?type=config&action=set&xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain'...>

I tried this last one worked.

Thanks for useful command.I also wonder how debug commands can be used by Api (or if we can)

[SRA]

Debug commands are not supported by the API.
