Work With Objects (REST API)
Objects are elements that you use within policy
rules. The firewalls and Panorama support a large number of objects such
as tags, address objects, log forwarding profiles, and security
profiles.
The examples in this section show you how to perform
CRUD operations with an address object. You can use this example
to work with other objects of the firewall. Access the REST API
reference documentation at
https://<IP address or FQDN of the firewall or Panorama>/restapi-doc/
for
help with the resource URIs for different objects and the structure
of the request. For an overview, see
PAN-OS REST API Request and Response Structure.
Create
an Address Object
Make a POST request to create an address
object. In the request, the query parameters must include the name
and the location on where you want to create the object. And in
the request body include the same name, location and other properties
to define the object. For example:
curl -X POST \ 'https://10.1.1.4/restapi/v9.1/Objects/Addresses?location=shared&name=web-servers-production' \ -H 'X-PAN-KEY: LUFRPT0=' \ -d '{ "entry": [ { "@location": "shared", "@name": "web-servers-production", "description": "what is this for?", "fqdn": "docs.paloaltonetworks.com", "tag": { "member": [ "blue" ] } } ] }'
Edit
an Address Object
Make a PUT request and include the name
and location of the object as query parameters. Include the same
location and name in the request body and define the properties
of the object you’d like to change. In the following example, you
are modifying the description and adding a new tag called red to
the address object. If the tag does not already exist, you must
first create the tag before you can reference it in the address object.
curl -X PUT \ 'https://10.1.1.4/restapi/v9.1/Objects/Addresses?location=shared&name=web-servers-production' \ -H 'X-PAN-KEY: LUFRPT0=' \ -d '{ "entry": [ { "@location": "shared", "@name": "web-servers-production", "description": "publish servers", "fqdn": "docs.paloaltonetworks.com", "tag": { "member": [ "blue", "red" ] } } ] }'
The response is
{ "@code": "20", "@status": "success", "msg": "command succeeded" }
Rename
an Address Object
When renaming an object, make a POST
request with the following query parameters—name of the object
name=<name>
,
l
ocation=<location>
, and the new name
newname=<name>
.
The following example renames web-servers-production to web-server-publish.
curl -X POST \ 'https://10.5.196.4/restapi/v9.1/Objects/Addresses:rename?location=shared&name=web-servers-production&newname=web-server-publish' \ -H 'X-PAN-KEY: LUFRPT0='
Delete
an Address Object
Make a DELETE request and include the
name and the location of the object as query parameters. For example:
curl -X DELETE \ 'https://10.1.1.4/restapi/v9.1/Objects/Addresses?location=shared&name=web-server-production' \ -H 'X-PAN-KEY: LUFRPT0='
Get
Address Objects
Make a GET request to retrieve a list
of all address objects within a specified location. For example,
the following query reads all address objects in vsys1 which is
indicated with
location=vsys&vsys=vsys1
in
the query parameter.
curl -X GET \ 'https://10.1.1.4/restapi/v9.1/Objects/Addresses?location=vsys&vsys=vsys1' \ -H 'X-PAN-KEY: LUFRPT0='
And the response includes the list of address
objects that are configured on vsys1 on the firewall.
{ "@code": "19", "@status": "success", "result": { "@count": "3", "@total-count": "3", "entry": [ { "@location": "vsys", "@name": "fqdn1", "@vsys": "vsys1", "fqdn": "www.test.com" }, { "@location": "vsys", "@name": "Peer1", "@vsys": "vsys1", "ip-netmask": "172.0.0.1/24" }, { "@location": "vsys", "@name": "Peer2renamed", "@oldname": "Peer2", "@vsys": "vsys1", "ip-netmask": "200.0.0.1/24" } ] } }
