Use API to determine what JHF is installed

canuck — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 13:54:58 GMT

Is there an API call to identify what JHF is installed on a gateway.

I can get the version details using 'show-gateways-and-servers', but not what JHF is installed.

Not directly. You can use the API to try to run a command on the device via CPRID.

This is missing in both the Management API and the GAIA API.

A workaround is to use the GAIA API and the "run-script" endpoint which isn't that straightforward either.

But at least you can manage this via Web Services and JSON data manipulation.

Here's an example via mgmt_cli and text output.

Send the "cpinfo -y FW1 | grep Take" command
Receive a task-id
Show the task-id, the output of the command will be displayed in Base 64 encoding
Decode the output and interpret it further

#mgmt_cli run-script script 'cpinfo -y FW1 | grep Take' --version 1.8 --context gaia_api task-id: a3cc0a7c-525f-4235-8a82-6ec22ff289e5 #mgmt_cli show-task task-id "a3cc0a7c-525f-4235-8a82-6ec22ff289e5" --version 1.8 --context gaia_api tasks: - execution-time: '1.31' last-update-time: iso-8601: 2025-11-25T17:10+1.00.0 posix: 1764087006.094337 progress-description: succeeded progress-percentage: 100 start-time: iso-8601: 2025-11-25T17:10+1.00.0 posix: 1764087004.786555 status: succeeded status-code: 200 task-details: - error: ClRoaXMgaXMgQ2hlY2sgUG9pbnQgQ1BpbmZvIEJ1aWxkIDkxNDAwMDI1MCBmb3IgR0FJQQ== output: CUhPVEZJWF9SODJfSlVNQk9fSEZfTUFJTglUYWtlOiAgNDQ= return-value: 0 task-id: a3cc0a7c-525f-4235-8a82-6ec22ff289e5 task-name: /run-script time-spent-in-queue: '0.00' # echo "CUhPVEZJWF9SODJfSlVNQk9fSEZfTUFJTglUYWtlOiAgNDQ=" | base64 -d HOTFIX_R82_JUMBO_HF_MAIN Take: 44

If the API team would include this in the "show-version" GAIA API endpoint, that would be great.
