show vpn-communities-star does not retrieve all communities

[Hadi]

Hello All,

I have written a script uses " show vpn-communities-star" to collect all star communities list from a CMA.

mgmt_cli show vpn-communities-star --format json -s /tmp/session | jq -r '.objects | .[] | .name'

the output does not list all communities and some of them are missed (validating via smart console).

I did search "show-generic-objects " to compare two communities one of them listed and the other one missed and it seems they are pretty same.

====================================Does not exist in show vpn-communities-star output=====

[Expert@MDSXXXX:0]# mgmt_cli show-generic-objects name Mxyz-ABC --format json -s /session | jq -r '.'

@Hadi 3 things to watch;

1. limit - default is to display the first 50 results. Max is 500

2. off-set - default is 0 you can move this around to display different results

3. details-level - if your missing info then this will be where you want to set. Setting to Full will get you the most details

mgmt_cli show vpn-communities-star limit 500 offset 0 details-level "full"

This is where I would start and didn't see it in your command. If you have more VPN communities than 500 you can do a while loop to cycle through.
