Webex Servicablity - Define CM or other nodes via API or bulk import?

[Roger Kallberg]

Anyone knows if it is possible to create managed devices via an API or bulk import, like a CSV file, in ECP (Enterprise Compute Platform), ie in a Webex Serviceability Node?

I would hate to need to add all our CM and Expw infra one by one as it's a rather large number of nodes, to be precise 20 CM, 32 Expw and 6 CCX nodes.

I asked a friendly TAC guy that I've been in contact with about ECP and got this response.

So it turns out that it is not possible, so now we need to add all those device individually via the kind of crappy webUI. #crying

Sounds like this is a job for a python script. I agree that it stinks that there isn't a native bulk import feature.

[Roger Kallberg]

Can a Python script do that in repetition on a webUI?

I haven't done anything with the Webex API's since I took the CLAUTO course (which was quite worthwhile), but I am sure you could loop through an input file and insert multiple items.

Well this is a separate product from Cisco that you install on-prem, that actually shows up as a Hybrid Media Node if you login to the "CLI" of it. I wrote CLI in quotes as there is no actual command line that you get to when you connect, it's a text based menu driven UI. So the normal Webex API's do not have any influence on this I'm afraid.

Please vote on this idea if you want to see this get added to the product.
