Adding device serial number to Panorama with API

[RogerMccarrick]

I am trying to add a PA-VM to the Panorama using the Panorama API.

I try:

https://1.0.20.30.40//api/?key=LUFRPT0zAndSoOnAndSoOnAndSoOn=&type=config&action=set&xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='all']&element=<serial>12345678012345</serial>

and I get :

StatusCode : 200
StatusDescription : OK
Content : <response status="error" code="12"><msg><line>At most 1 occurrence is allowed for devices/entry</line></msg></response>

To show devices the the commad is:

/api/?type=op&cmd=<show><devices><all></all></devices></show>

or

/api/?type=op&cmd=<show><devices><connected></connected></devices></show>

What is the correct API call to add a serial number to the Panorama?

thanks

Roger

Getting closer, but not quite

api/?type=config&action=set&key=LUFRPT0zAndSoOnAndSoOnAndSoOn&xpath=/config/mgt-config/devices/entry/[@name='12345678012345']

<response status="error" code="12">

<msg>

<line>Invalid target object in set handler</line>

</msg>

</response>

any ideas? Thanks

This works

https://FW_IP/api/?type=config&action=set&key=API_KEY&xpath=/config/mgt-config/devices&element=<entr... name='SERIAL_NUMBER'/>

@RogerMccarrick,

Just FYI, and I forget to do it often as well, but when passing along API values you should put it in a Code box. This stops Live from auto-formating the API request as an actual hyperlink, which often breaks longer URLs and makes it difficult for people to see what they should actually be using.
