WebAPI one time script stucks at 10%

Hello. I wrote python script to get result of cpstat fw command:

def api_call(ip_addr, port, command, json_payload, sid): url = 'https://' + ip_addr + ':' + str(port) + '/web_api/' + command if sid == '': request_headers = {'Content-Type' : 'application/json'} else: request_headers = {'Content-Type' : 'application/json', 'X-chkp-sid' : sid} r = requests.post(url,data=json.dumps(json_payload), headers=request_headers, verify=False) return r.json() def login(user,password): payload = {'user':user, 'password' : password} response = api_call(mgmt_server, 443, 'login',payload, '') return response["sid"] def run_script(script_name, script_command,sid): payload = {'script-name':script_name, 'script':script_command, 'targets':otr_gws} response = api_call(mgmt_server, 443, 'run-script', payload, sid) return response def show_task(task_id, sid): payload = {'task-id':task_id, 'details-level':'full'} response = api_call(mgmt_server, 443, 'show-task', payload, sid) return response def main(): sid = login(mgmt_username,mgmt_password) print("session id: " + sid) cpstat = run_script("cpstat","cpstat fw",sid) print(cpstat) print("------------------------------") print("cpstat result: " + json.dumps(cpstat)) print("------------------------------") task_id=cpstat["tasks"][0]["task-id"] result=show_task(task_id, sid) print(result) logout_result = api_call(mgmt_server, 443,"logout", {},sid) print("logout result: " + json.dumps(logout_result)) if __name__ == '__main__': main()

But when I run script it just stucks on the management server and nothing hashappened. What could be the problem?

P.S. The main idea is I want to make script to check ISP Redundancy status and to switch ISP Manually.

I'm not a python programmer, but where are you defining the gateways on which to execute the cpstat fw command?
I don't see you passing it to your run_script function or defined anywhere in the script you pasted above.

The first part of script is:

import requests
import json

mgmt_username = ‘user’
mgmt_password = ‘pass’
mgmt_server = ‘x.x.x.x’
otr_gws = [‘gw-2’]

I don’t see you doing a base64 decoding of the command output either.

Have you succeeded to fix this issue?

I have the same issue too.

I had the same problem when i did it in PHP. But i did some tests and i found what it is and how to bypass the problem.

That's a bug in WEBAPI. I'm using R81, so i don't know about other versions.

When you use teh "run-script", the issue will occur if you use a LIST on the "target" parameter. So, if there's more than 1 gateway on target, the tasks will stuck.

Instead a LIST on "target" parameter, try to use a Loop passing one gateway at time.
