Hi,
looking at the galaxy gaia modules at https://galaxy.ansible.com/check_point/gaia

It seems that there are only a few modules available and they are not fully developed, so for example the cp_gaia_physical_interface doesn't allow to create vlan in an interface

p_gaia_hostname – Manage the hostname of a Check Point machine over Web Services API.
cp_gaia_hostname_facts – Get the hostname of a Check Point machine over Web Services API.
cp_gaia_physical_interface – Manage physical interface of a Check Point machine over Web Services API.
cp_gaia_physical_interfaces_facts – Get information about physical interfaces of a Check Point machine over Web Services API.
cp_gaia_put_file – Add a new file to a Check Point machine over Web Services API.

Lookin at the gaia api at https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/GaiaAPIs/index.html#introduction~v1.6%20 it looks like is not fully developed either.

Is there any plan to provide more capable ansible/api modules?

At the moment, don't forget the data/mgmt plane.

At the moment the gaia api shows the interfaces in the management plane and the routes of the data plane.
I would need to have access to the interfaces in the data plane

We will add more things to both the Gaia API and the Ansible module.

Earlier on I heard fall of this year. So that could be tomorrow (unlikely) or close enough to the end of fall to wrap it up and put it under the christmas tree.

But I would love to have it available now. Do you accept stroopwafels as bribe 😉
