How to get all subnets without provide the subnet address and how get the subnet(s) last update?

[#1]

Hi All,

 I am trying to get all subnets via infoblox api,  While it need to provide the subnets' address. For example

POST /wapi/v1.2/network?network=10.10.0.0/12

So I need to create a cofig file and put all the network address (10.0.0.0/12) in it and get all the subnets. But when server have update the network set,for example, add a network address, I need to update my config file also, this is wired. cause I may do not know which network address has been added.

1, Is there a way to get all subnets without provide the subnet address?

2, if question 1 is not easy to solve, Is there a smart way to know which subnet has been added automatically via api?

Many Thanks,

Kent

Try issuing the request without specifying a network to search for.    For example, you can put this in a web browser to display them all to your browser screen:

https://172.16.2.2/wapi/v1.2/network

Or in your script, just do:

POST /wapi/v1.2/network

If there are over 1000 items to return, you will get an error, because you need "page" through them all, by grabbing a set of 500 or so at a time: (needs API version 1.5+)

https://172.16.2.2/wapi/v1.5/network?_paging=1&_return_as_object=1&_max_results=500

this returns 500 items, plus a long next_page_id string which you would put in the next request, to get 500 more:

https://172.16.2.2/wapi/v1.5/network?_page_id=<next_page_id string>

Try to use version 15 but it response 400 Bad request and "Version 1.5 not supported"

If you get an error message "Version 1.5 not supported" that probably means that your version of NIOS is earlier than 6.11. (6.11 LD = WAPI 1.5, while 6.11 = WAPI 1.6.) A command like the following one will work in all WAPI versions from 1.0 forward:

curl --tlsv1 --insecure --user 'admin:infoblox' 'https://gm.example.com/wapi/v1.0/network?_max_results=5000'

(Change the value of _max_results to be larger than the number of networks you have.)

Hello MRichard,

It has been a long time since you wrote this answer but I would like to ask you something regarding to it. I was able to follow your advise and export all of my business subnets. However, I realised that some of them are missing and I cannot understand the reason for that. I followed two processes, to extract everything at once

https://x.x.x.x/wapi/v1.6/network?_max_results=50005&_return_fields=comment,disable,members,enable_d...

I also extracted them 500 each time. The final result is the same following both approaches. However, some subnets are missing.

I also tried to export a csv file from the GUI, but the extracted excel file consists of only 350 subnets. Extracting them using the cURL, they are 8500. The difference is huge and I cannot understand why I cannot extrct all of them from the GUI. (yes, I am selecting the all of them and not only the first page)

Could you provide some guidance on how to verify that I have extracted all my subnets?

Thank you in advance,

Georgios Zervakis
