Export Device Configurations DNA Center API

[vishal4567]

We are executing the API https://{{DNAC_IP}}/api/v1/network-device-archive/cleartext, and we are able to fetch the device configurations. 

But the configurations fetched are the output of a device as if 'show running-configuration' is executed.

Is there a way for us to change the output so that we can get the output "show running-configuration all" instead, using said API?

Hello @vishal4567,

It seems the Export Device Configurations endpoint is pretty fixed on the output. There is also Get Device Config For All Devices, but that URL is much different than the one you're calling.

Here are some options which might help you:

• Use DNA to backup network switches
• Export Device configurations to an encrypted zip file
