ASA REST API - Basic Device Information

[Sloanstar]

Looking to grab ASA software version, platform information, chassis inventory and up-time information from the API. Where I would expect to find this there is no documented method. Is this an oversight?

These do not provide the requisite information:

• /api/monitoring/device

API operations for monitoring various device metrics.

• /api/monitoring/device/components

API operations for monitoring of various device components, including software and hardware information and statistics.

Found an old blog post.

This seems rather undocumented in the /doc links, but this will get me some of the information.

/api/monitoring/device/components/version

Interestingly enough when calling the above uri leaving off the trailing version, no version information is returned but a host of other information is preset. Seems like a "bug" / oversight.

Hi there,

The API URL you are looking for is:

/api/monitoring/device/components/version

... if all else fails you can always use /api/cli and send a list of commands and regex the returned response list.

cheers,

Seb.
