Get XMC licenses via script or Rest-API

StephanH — Tue, 14 Aug 2018 11:37:00 GMT

Hello,

is there a way to get the current licenses via script or REST-API?

I need the info how many End-Systems for NAC are licensed to proceed in another script.
If I can get the license string it's easy do find out that value.

Or is there another place where I can find the information how many end systems for NAC are licensed?

Best regards
Stephan

Hi SH,

Current ES count updated in NAC manager ---> configuration tab--> license status.

if you right click on a appliance and go to web view ---> End system authentication status , where we can see how many ES are managed during last 24 horus.

Thanks,

Hi Stephan,

Could you share your python script which will look for license file ? if you have one already.

The license file is located in below location but we have to use the pointer to locate below file.

root@xmc52.extremenetworks.com:/usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/appdata/license$ ls
NetSightEval.lic

Thanks,

Thank you very much Suresh,

that's what I need. I had forgotten that there is this file.

I have no python script up to now, because I needed first the info how I can get the license .

Hello Suresh,

import re import sys #open license file try: f = open('/usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/appdata/license/NacEnterprise.lic', 'r') except IOError: print "Can't open license file" sys.exit(0) #sum single licenses licenses = 0 for x in f: reg = re.search(r"IA-ES-([13]|12)K", x) lic = reg.group(1) lic = int(lic) * 1000 licenses = licenses + lic #print sum of single licenses print licenses

One little hint.
I do not care about other licenses in the license file (maybe there are assessment licenses or anything else) with the script. Because in my case I have only NAC licenses!!!

You might also try your luck with GraphQL based NBI (https://:8443/nbi/graphiql/index.html?query=%7B%0A%20%20accessControl%20%7B%0A%20%20%20...) or Reporting SOAP API (https://emc.extremenetworks.com/content/oneview/docs/connect/docs/reporting_web_service/r_ov_connect...)

Hello Alexander,

thank you for you hint.

I love the Rest(SOAP)-API but the report_web_services are quite complex (for me).
Because of you have to figure out the correct data types Therefore to read the license info from the mentioned file is much easier.

But you hint with GraphiQL is a good alternative.

Best regards
Stephan

Hello James,

I do not know a printed documentation. But I think all you need is here:

GraphiQL for testing and documentation

https://:8443/nbi/graphiql/index.html

GraphQL schema

https://:8443/nbi/graphql/schema.idl

GraphQL API

https://:8443/nbi/graphql

Have fun!

Best regards
Stephan

For the XMC version I use there are two links that gave me some intro into the GraphQL:

https://XMC:8443/nbi/graphql/schema.idl
https://XMC:8443/nbi/graphiql/index.html (make sure to open the panel on the right side):

HI, if I try a simple query from the NBI explorer of XMC it works:

query{
network {
devices {
id
chassisId
deviceData {
sysDescr
}
}
}
}

But if I try from Postman the same query in the body of the request of type GraphQL with Basic authentication (I use my root account and password) and the url to XMC as follow https://192.168.30.34:8443/nbi/graphql

I have a 400 bad request answer from XMC

How do I need to do the same query from Postman instead of NBI Explorer in manner it works?

Thanks

As I have now finally learned, there is unfortunately no way to query the licenses via the API.
