Fetch Updatable Objects – Script

Nüüül — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 09:44:34 GMT

Had a customer in need for a list of available updatable Objects, known by Mgmt server so internal customers are able to request their rules with the correct object names.

So I wrote this small script for fetching UO Repositories and putting them into a csv file.

Filter option (ie to only get objects at AWS) is possible

https://github.com/leinadred/py_cp-updatable-objects

In case someone needs something similar.

Usage and prerequisites:

python3.x with modules:

cpapi (https://github.com/CheckPointSW/cp_mgmt_api_python_sdk)
argparse (should be there by default)
csv (should be there by default)

Basic usage:

python py_cp-updatable-objects.py -H <Host IP/Name> (-U/--user <user>) -P/--password <auth credential> (if API key, use only "-P", else password for "--user") show repositories (-f <string to filter for, i.e. "Azure">)

example:

python py_cp-updatable-objects.py -H 1.2.3.4 -P s3cr3tk3Y show repositories -f Azure

possible use cases:

providing this to rule change requester to request the correct source / destinations
just having an eye of what is possible to import
(coming later) - having an eye of what is imported
(coming later) - having an eye of last update occured to specific objects
