How can I isolate traffic between two specific sites using the Cato API?
Hello Catoers, I'm trying to get an overview of data transferred between sites via the Cato tunnel. I considered using the accountMetrics query to analyze bytesUpstream and bytesDownstream, but that only provides aggregate data without specifying the destination. Would using eventsFeed - filtering by source and destination - be a better approach? Or is there another query that directly correlates traffic between specific sites? Thanks for your guidance.
API for LDAP Sync
Hi, Team. We have checked the KB and API documents and there are only two ways to sync LDAP users which is through Daily Sync feature and 'Sync Now' button. We have asked to Cato Support that if there is a way to automatically sync in defined minutes or hours. (ex. set 5 minutes to automatically sync LDAP users) The response was we have to RFE for that feature. Then I asked them if there is API for LDAP Sync and they lead me to here. So, currently, is there any API query for LDAP Sync we can use?
addSocketSite Location lookup incomplete
Trying to add sites to tenant via API Using addSocketSite in Postman. Fails, reporting: {"errors":[{"message":"timezone [US/Pacific] is unknown","path":["site","addSocketSite","input","siteLocation","timezone"]}],"data":{"site":{"addSocketSite":null}}} Inspecting the results of the lookup, I can see that UA has three timezones When you lookup US there is only one timezone. If I am importing 15 sites only the sites in Mountain timezone succeed. Is this a production tool or method?
Querying Source/App/Category ID for Firewall Script
Hi Team, This is Catolab from South Korea. We are working on a script to add multiple firewalls via a CSV file. However, we are encountering difficulties in defining the "ID" for the Source, App, and Category fields. I have attached the CSV file and the Python script for your reference. https://naver.me/Fnmg7zsn Could you provide insights on how we can query the "ID" for each Source, App, and Category type? So far, I have only found entity lookup options for User and Site. Thank you for your help, and have a great day!Cloning Firewall rules
Ever notice how Cato defaults are not Cato best practices. I have a preferred layout for Internet Firewall and WAN Firewall rules. I have them in multiple sections for business rules and best practice rules. I am wanting to created a pristine template that I can apply to a new tenant that sets up all of my preferences. I am pretty fluent with Postman and python. Any bread crumbs or ideas on how to back up the Internet Rules from one tenant and push them in to a net new tenant? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian
Does the Cato API support batch submissions?
I'm looking to add over 200 DHCP reservations to one of our sites. Does the API support batch submissions in the following format or do I need to include the 'accountId" and 'siteId' lines for each host? [ { "accountId": "123456", "siteId": "78910", "input": { "name": "Host1", "ip": "192.168.1.10", "macAddress": "00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E" } }, { "input": { "name": "Host2", "ip": "192.168.1.11", "macAddress": "00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5F" } } ]
How do you make an API request that lists IP address of LAN and WAN interfaces ?
I need to retrieve several pieces of information using API requests : - full list of IP ranges for LAN interfaces (type : Native, VLAN, Routed) [screenshot] - IP addresses of the WAN interfaces (socket IP) In the "entityLookUp" request, I can only find the site's native IP address (VLAN, Routed?) and in the "accountSnapshot" request, there is no internal address. Thank for your time
