AP Trace generation via API

ChristianK — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 09:56:37 GMT

Is it possible via the XIQ Controller API to "Retrieve Trace" what is available in the Advanced configuration of the Access Points?

I want to get from multiple APs the Traces via API.

Hello

Yes this is possible via the API, essentially it's a 3 step process, create the trace, find the trace name, retrieve the trace.

step 1 generate the trace, if scripting add a short pause to allow this to happen, I used 10 secs in my script.

Put: url: management/v1/aps/<serialnumber>/logs

step 2 get the filename of the trace file

Get: management/v1/aps/<serialnumber>/traceurls

step 3 download the trace from step 2

Get: /management/v1/aps/downloadtrace/<full trace name>

HTH

Do you mean in Step 2 a different URL?

management/v1/aps/<serialnumber>/traceurls ?

Yes, I have fixed my original post.

I was not aware of the PUT URL

In the Documentation, it was not clearly described.
