Site Engine / Device / Configuration / Read Device delays

[Kevin_Kernel]

I am trying to train the staff to use Site Engine for device configuration changes. To ensure they see current device configuration, they must click "Read Device" to update all VLAN and port configurations. This takes between 60 and 90 seconds per 5420 switch. Is there a way to run a task/workflow to perform this device synchronization with the Site Engine database for all switches on a nightly basis?

I presumed this would be a common ask, but my searching has not found an existing answer/solution for keeping the database in synch with all devices.

Hi Kevin,

yes, there is NBI API call for that:

mutation{network{readDevices(input:{devices:{ipAddress:"192.168.130.130"}}){status}}}

 In the older versions, the API was reloadDevices.

Sincerely yours
