Still no way to assign platform settings in Firepower FMC REST API

[patrickmryan]

I have a python script that automates registration and configuration of a new Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) device. I am using the FMC REST API to automate this process.

I can automate just about every step of the process *except* for the assignment of "platform settings". In my specific configuration, I need to attach the syslog settings to the FTD via the platform settings.

I am now testing with the Firepower 6.6 code. There still does not appear to be an API for platform settings. This seems like a glaring omission in the API. Is there something I am missing?

Hi Patrick,

The only way to get this addressed is to open a TAC case, get a bug opened. When a lot of customers have this requirement, the feature would get added to the APIs.

Thanks for the response.  However, that seems backwards. The REST API should support every action that I can otherwise execute in the management console. I don't want to have to ask for APIs one at a time. Otherwise, I am limited in what I can automate.

As a comparison, have a look at the Amazon API mandate.

I am trying to find the API platform settings URL. Can you assist? Patrick?
