Hey guys,

Had customer send me this yerterday. Im no api expert by any means, so the command comes in handy.

[Expert@CP-MANAGEMENT:0]# mgmt_cli -r true show-gateways-and-servers limit 500 --format json \
> | jq -r '.objects[] | "\(.name)\t\(.["ipv4-address"] // "-")\t\(.type)"'
CP-FW-01 - cluster-member
CP-FW-02 - cluster-member
CP-FW-CLUSTER - CpmiGatewayCluster
CP-GW - simple-gateway
CP-MANAGEMENT - checkpoint-host
CP-SMARTEVENT - checkpoint-host

Could be extended for Multdomain and loop over all domains.

I should probably create brand new R82 mds lab...had it at some point, but had to delete it.

I have a simple R82.10 lab created to test new IA feature so i could compile it.
This use case is very easy. But of course not performant. It sould of course login and create a session to run on productive devices. ANd i cannot test this on not Multidomain Servers

for domain in $(mgmt_cli -r true show domains limit 500 offset 0 details-level "standard" --format json | jq -r '.objects[] | .name'); do printf "CMA: %s\n==========\n" "$domain"; mgmt_cli -r true show-gateways-and-servers limit 500 --format json | jq -r '.objects[] | "\(.name)\t\(.["ipv4-address"] // "-")\t\(.type)"'; done CMA: CMA ========== CMA_Server - checkpoint-host CMA_ZWO_Server - checkpoint-host fra-r82_10_lab_pdp - simple-gateway fra-r82_10_lab_pep - simple-gateway CMA: CMA_ZWO ========== CMA_Server - checkpoint-host CMA_ZWO_Server - checkpoint-host fra-r82_10_lab_pdp - simple-gateway fra-r82_10_lab_pep - simple-gateway

edith adds: for sure there should be some error handlings and for large environments with more gw than limit to create a loop.

I did something similar for my script to run something on each firewall managed by a given management server (onEachFirewall). It's part of my CPFirewallScrips repo on Github.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

I did create similar functions in python for web api calls in a quiet bigger project. Target is to upgrade round about 50 open server pdp only devices using CP- and VMware API from R81.20 to R82
