Use Postman to query an ACI Contract Filter

[a12288]

Good day.

From time to time I need to verify whether a specific port is being opened or not, so I would like use Postman to query a defined ACI Filter but the problem I have is that the Postman response does not have the port information, and I do not know where to force Postman to query all the Child MOs. 

Here is what I used https://{{apic}}/api/node/mo/uni/tn-***/flt-***/fltCnts.json?query-target=children&target-subtree-class=vzEntry&query-target-filter=not(wcard(vzEntry.dn,"__ui_"))

The only difference with the ACI API Inspector is my Postman does not have this "&subscription=yes", as whenever I added it I will get a 405 error. How do you guys

Hi @a12288 

Have you tried using just:

https://{{apic}}/api/node/mo/uni/tn-***/flt-***/fltCnts.json?query-target=children

For me, it returns correct values, including ports.

Take care,

Sergiu

Unfortunately, Sergiu

It did not return the port information and by the way we are running 5.2(4e), and I used https://{{apic}}/api/node/mo/uni/tn-CCS/flt-FLTP-SCCM/fltCnts.json?query-target=children

{
"totalCount": "1",
"imdata": [
{
"faultCounts": {
"attributes": {
"childAction": "",

Ah sorry. I've copy pasted the URL from your initial post. I highlighted with red the problem:

https://{{apic}}/api/node/mo/uni/tn-***/flt-***/fltCnts.json?query-target=children

You are basically querying the fault counts, not the object itself.

This is the correct URL:

https://{{apic_ip}}/api/mo/uni/tn-***/flt-***.json?query-target=children

In your case:

https://{{apic}}/api/node/mo/uni/tn-CCS/flt-FLTP-SCCM.json?query-target=children

Take care,

Sergiu
