Get IPS Protections using API

Chonyi — Tue, 02 Jul 2019 14:05:18 GMT

Hi,

I am wondering is there an option to export .csv file with IPS protections per profile using Web Services API?

The output should be the same as doing it through SmartConsole as shown in the following screnshot

Other option to get this information is through API command show threat-protections but max limit to the output is 500 protections which is not sufficient.

Thanks.

Most API commands are limited in the number of results provided by design.
You need to make iterative API calls using the offset parameter to get the next batch of results.

offset does help and I was using limit command wrong thinking it defines last entry to show instead how many entries to show 🙂
