Use API to determine what JHF is installed

[canuck]

Hi

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.

Thanks for your response.

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.

1. Send the "cpinfo -y FW1 | grep Take" command
2. Receive a task-id
3. Show the task-id, the output of the command will be displayed in Base 64 encoding
4. 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

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