Actions for Reading a Configuration

Configuration Action Type
Syntax
Get active configuration
action=show
Get candidate configuration
action=get
Show and get actions differ in three important ways:
  • Show actions retrieve the active configuration, while get actions retrieve the candidate, uncommitted configuration.
  • Show actions only work when the provided XPath specifies a single node. Get actions work with single and multiple nodes.
  • Show actions can use relative XPath, while get actions require absolute XPath.
