Programmatically identify Catalyst SD-WAN Edge HA status

[Prodrick]

Using the SD-WAN Bulk API, how might one identify if the Edges for a given site are highly available and which one is primary vs secondary/backup?

Hi,

what do you mean by HA? There is no HA or failover pairing for Edges in SD-WAN like we have seen in NGFW or ASA classic firewall.

You can just do redundancy and use L3 techniques such as routing (with or without ECMP) or supported FHRP protocols like VRRP/HSRP (HSRP in case of cEDGE) to have redundant active/active or active/standby devices on site. But even in this case, you don't have any kind of HA pairing/ sync between devices, they work standalone.
