get references for an address object?

[poundy]

It's been a good day or 365+ since I've had much to do with PowerFGT but I have a need right now to find objects (for example, an address or address-group) that have a zero reference count. In the web interface you can see this easily. I was hoping to find an easy way to do that. Anyone done anything like that ? It could be an easy thing, but I can't see it right now...

Hi @poundy

Welcome back :)

You can use with_meta=1 on uri for get the ref...

(Invoke-FGTRestMethod "api/v2/cmdb/firewall/address/H_10.200.1.22?with_meta=1&datasrouce=1").results

name                 : H_10.200.1.22
q_origin_key         : H_10.200.1.22

sub-type             : sdn

sdn                  :
fsso-group           : {}

allow-routing        : disable
fabric-object        : disable
q_ref                : 1
q_static             : False

q_global_entry       : False
q_type               : 30
q_path               : firewall
q_name               : address
q_mkey_type          : string
q_no_edit            : False
q_class              : ftnt-address ftnt-color-0

Adding q_xxx object (on this case, there is 1 ref)

and for get usage, you can use this API Call

(Invoke-FGTRestMethod "api/v2/monitor/system/object/usage?mkey=H_10.200.1.22&qtypes=[30]&scope=vdom").results.currently_using

path            : firewall
name            : policy
reference_count : 0
static          : False
table_type      : table
mkey            : 60
vdom            : root
range           : vdom
attribute       : srcaddr

=> mkey is the rule id of policy use this object

Patchs are welcome to add some Get function :) (or update -meta parameter to Get function !)

with last release, you can use -meta for get the info !
