Demand for VSX support in SmartConsole Extensions?

[Danny]

Do you have demand for VSX support in SmartConsole Extensions?

Check Point's SmartConsole has several limitations when working with VSX objects.
Example: Running One-time scripts on VS systems is not supported:

You can run One-time scripts on the VSX object but not on a VS in it's specific VS environment. That's because cprid_util doesn't support connecting to a VS directly, it requires to connect to the VSX.

This SmartConsole limitation also makes it much harder to implement VSX/VS support in SmartConsole Extensions for which I'm receiving requests every now and then. It's not impossible, just a challenge. I'd be willing to take up the challenge if there is enough demand for VSX support in this community. Please respond if you'd like to have VSX support added.

The challenge for me to overcome the various limitations:

1. Identify if a VS object type has been selected [easy]
2. Find the main IP of the VSX object managing the selected VS object [tough]
3. Identify the primary security management (easy, doesn't work in Smart-1 Cloud!)
4. Connect to VSX via cprid_util utilizing the run-script command on the management [easy]
5. Change the VS environment via script workaround [medium]
6. Run the desired commands
