"cpview -p" with cprid_util : Failed windows size ioctl

Alain_Yamin — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 14:21:40 GMT

Hello CheckMates,

I'm trying to get the full output of cpview on a gateway from the manager CLI using cprid_util and I'm only getting the stderr:

CPView: Failed windows size ioctl with 25, Inappropriate ioctl for device.

I'm guessing it's because the shell cannot set a window size since it's a remote command. Would there be a way to fix my command get the output ?

Here's my command:

$CPDIR/bin/cprid_util -server 10.0.0.2 -verbose rexec -rcmd bash -c "cpview -p"

Edit: I'm testing this on R80.20, but will it will be used with R77.20, R77.30 and R80.10 gateways.

(I also tried calling the full path of /bin/cpview_start.sh )

Thanks!

So I tried to manually set a terminal and number of columns with no luck:

$CPDIR/bin/cprid_util -server 10.0.0.2 -verbose rexec -rcmd /bin/bash -c 'export TERM=vt220 && export COLUMNS=132 && cpview -p'

My final goal is to get the IPS and Anti-virus last update number, which I found available through cpview. Where does cpview get these informations from? I could get them from there instead of invoking cpview.

For example:

Blade status Last update number Update Time
Anti-Virus disabled 1109220741 16Nov2018 12:49:13

Thanks

Hey Alain

I'm Adam from Diagnostics (owners of CPView)
Be aware that "cpview -p" was meant for debugging purposes (not as an API) and was deprecated in newer release

We've added SNMP capabilities to CPView, so you can use any SNMP tool to monitor your environments

And we plan to add support to RestAPI in the future

As for your question there isn't an official API for getting the AV package version from the GW
But you can see it in this file

cat $FWDIR/amw_kss/update/Version
(
    :pkg_version (1109220741)
    :pkg_timestamp (1304253360)
)

So you can run it with awk to get your desired output

Thanks

Exactly what I needed, thanks Adam!
