R80 Management API tips and tricks - installed policy packges

[Robert_Decker]

Here is an example bash script that monitors whether a policy package is only updated (published) or also already installed - 

#!/bin/sh

JQ=${CPDIR}/jq/jq

GATEWAYS_FILE="gateways.json"
PACKAGES_FILE="packages.json"
PACKAGE_FILE="package.json"

mgmt_cli -r true show gateways-and-servers limit 500 details-level full --format json > $GATEWAYS_FILE
INSTALLED_PACKAGES=($($JQ -r '.objects[] | .name as $name | .policy | select(. != {}) | [.["access-policy-name"], .["access-policy-installation-date"]["posix"], $name] | @csv' $GATEWAYS_FILE))

if [ $? -ne 1 ]; then
  echo 'Checking for available packages statuses...'
  mgmt_cli -r true show packages limit 500 details-level full --format json > $PACKAGES_FILE
  if [ $? -ne 1 ]; then
    PACKAGES_NAMES=($($JQ '.packages[] | .name' $PACKAGES_FILE))
    for PACKAGE in ${PACKAGES_NAMES[@]}; do
      echo 'Checking for package '"$PACKAGE"'...'
      mgmt_cli -r true show-package name $PACKAGE --format json > $PACKAGE_FILE
      if [ $? -ne 1 ]; then
        IS_INSTALLED=false
        PUBLISH_TIME=($($JQ -r '.["meta-info"]["last-modify-time"]["iso-8601"]' $PACKAGE_FILE))
        PUBLISH_TIME_POSIX=($($JQ -r '.["meta-info"]["last-modify-time"]["posix"]' $PACKAGE_FILE))
        echo 'Last publish time: '"$PUBLISH_TIME"
        for INSTALLED_PACKAGE in ${INSTALLED_PACKAGES[@]}; do
          IFS=',' read -ra INSTALLED_PACKAGE_DATA <<< "$INSTALLED_PACKAGE"
          INSTALLED_PACKAGE_NAME=${INSTALLED_PACKAGE_DATA[0]}
          if [ $INSTALLED_PACKAGE_NAME == $PACKAGE ]; then
            INSTALLED_PACKAGE_TIME_POSIX=${INSTALLED_PACKAGE_DATA[1]}
            INSTALLED_PACKAGE_GW=${INSTALLED_PACKAGE_DATA[2]}
            if [ $PUBLISH_TIME_POSIX -lt $INSTALLED_PACKAGE_TIME_POSIX ]; then
              IS_INSTALLED=true
              echo 'The update is already installed on gateway: '"$INSTALLED_PACKAGE_GW"
            fi
          fi
        done
        if [ "$IS_INSTALLED" == false ]; then
          echo 'Not yet installed!'
        fi
      fi
    done
  fi
fi

Dear members,

Unfortunately, I was just informed that the policy package object is not updated when the changes are published.
Therefore, its "last-modify-time" field is never updated.
It seems that the script I wrote will not work due to this limitation.
I'll try to find another solution for this problem.

Robert.

Hi,

Did you find another solution to this? 

It would be useful to generate a summary that outlines which policies have had published changes where the upload remains pending. 

Regards,

Simon
