Argument 'name' in show-object not implemented?

Alexander_Koch — Fri, 20 May 2016 15:19:39 GMT

If I try to show an object and use the name argument, I've got an error that parameter name is invalid.

# mgmt_cli show object name "nntp.ilk.net"

code: "generic_err_invalid_parameter_name"

message: "Unrecognized parameter [name]"

Also in API Web Services. The reference documents name as vaild argument.

Is this an known bug?

Thanks,

Alex

Agreed that this "name" parameter does not work, the uid parameter works fine.

the web_api also returns

{

"code" : "generic_err_invalid_parameter_name",

"message" : "Unrecognized parameter [name]"

}

This does indeed look like a bug.

While we look into this you can try using the specific object type which are working as expected - show host, show network etc.

Hope that helps.
