Using Ansible to Access Memory Usage of a Device

Hello,

Is there Ansible script I could use to access the memory usage of a device on checkpoint?

While there isn’t a specific API call for this, you should be able to use run-script to get whatever data you need.

Hi,

Is there any link to the run script?

You pass the "script" as an argument to run-script.
You would run standard Linux commands depending on precisely what you're after.
Possibly fw ctl pstat (which gives some firewall kernel-specific info).
Do I have a precise example? No.

There are some searchable examples here else see the relevant section of the API reference for more info.
