Accessing service-meta-data with RESTCONF

[rslaski]

Hi,

How could we get backpointers for the configuration of the device over RESTCONF?

For example:

rslaski@ncs# show running-config devices device AR_DCI230 config dcs:interface Vxlan 1 | display service-meta-data
devices device AR_DCI230
 config
  ! Refcount: 1
  ! Backpointer: [ /TMPL:TMPL/TMPL:EVPN/TMPL:EVPN_L3[TMPL:name='mb_l3_boarder'] ]
  dcs:interface Vxlan1
   vxlan udp-port 4789
   ! Refcount: 1
   ! Refcount: 1 (/devices/device{AR_DCI230}/config/dcs:interface/Vxlan{1}/vxlan/vrf{mb_l3_boarder})
   ! Backpointer: [ /TMPL:TMPL/TMPL:EVPN/TMPL:EVPN_L3[TMPL:name='mb_l3_boarder'] ] (/devices/device{AR_DCI230}/config/dcs:interface/Vxlan{1}/vxlan/vrf{mb_l3_boarder})
   vxlan vrf mb_l3_boarder vni 85001
  !
 !
!

For RESTCONF query I did not find any parameters to pass that option. Or should we look at a different RESTCONF tree section? All I could get was a plain configuration:

http://{{NSO_IP}}:{{NSO_HTTP_PORT}}/restconf/data/tailf-ncs:devices/device=AR_DCI230/config?fields=tailf-ned-arista-dcs:interface/Vxlan&depth=unbounded

{
  "tailf-ncs:config": {
    "tailf-ned-arista-dcs:interface": {
      "Vxlan": [
        {
          "id": 1,
          "vxlan": {
            "udp-port": 4789,
            "vrf": [
              {
                "name": "mb_l3_boarder",
                "vni": 85001
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Hello,

This seems to be a bug in our RESTCONF implementation.

Currently, you can retrieve other attributes like tags and annotations over RESTCONF, but not FASTMAP specific ones like refcounts and backpointers.

Please create a support request for it to be fixed.

Thanks,

Ram

Has this been fixed?

curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/yang-data+json' --header 'Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxx' 'http://{{NSO_IP}}:{{PORT_NO}}/restconf/data/devices/device={{device_name}}?content=config&with-service-meta-data=true'

Hope this helps
