Description
This article describes how to run a proxy API call from FortiManager to a managed FortiGate to collect data.
Scope
FortiManager and FortiGate.
Solution
- FortiManager will send proxy API calls via url:"sys/proxy/json" to managed FortiGate API "resource": "<FortiGate API Call>"
Note:
For a complete list of FortiGate API calls, refer to Fortinet Development Network (FNDN):
{
"id" : "1",
"method": "exec",
"params": [
{
"url": "sys/proxy/json",
"data": {
"target": [ "device/<device-name>" ],
"action": "get",
"resource": "<FortiGate API Call>"
}
}
],
"session" : "<session-id>"
}
- Below are two sample usages of proxy calls from FortiManager to a managed FortiGate:
- Get FortiGate Firewall Address:
{
"id" : "1",
"method": "exec",
"params": [
{
"url": "sys/proxy/json",
"data": {
"target": [ "device/lab-fgt2" ],
"action": "get",
"resource": "/api/v2/cmdb/firewall/address"
}
}
],
"session" : "{{session-id}}"
}
- Get FortiGate License Info:
{
"id" : "1",
"method": "exec",
"params": [
{
"url": "sys/proxy/json",
"data": {
"target": [ "device/lab-fgt2" ],
"action": "get",
"resource": "/api/v2/monitor/license/status"
}
}
],
"session" : "{{session-id}}"
}
