Hi,

 

I am trying to restart Infoblox using API endpoint {restartservices} after fixing IP but I am getting an error [The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.]

 

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

 

Thank you.

Hi Sidko,

 

If you are trying to restart the grid you can append '_function=restartservices' to your api request

 

Below is a sample curl

curl -L -X POST 'https://<grid_ip>/wapi/v2.12/grid/<grid_ref>?_function=restartservices' -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46aW5mb2Jsb3g='

 

Regards,

Shukran

Hi shukran,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using powershell

The url used

https://<IP>/wapi/v2.4/grid/<grid_ID>?_function=restartservices

 

I am able to raise other API request, I am only facing issue while restarting.

 

Regards,

Sidko

Could you share the query you are trying to run in Powershell. Also could you try running it using some API client (like Postman or Insomnia)

Hi shukran,

URL used: https://<IP>/wapi/v2.4/grid/<grid_ID>?_function=restartservices

 

$host_details = [ordered]@{
memberOrder="GROUPED"
requestType=“RESTART_IF_NEEDED"
serviceOption="ALL"
}


$body = $host_details | ConvertTo-Json
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Method POST -Credential $creds -ContentType 'application/json' -Body $body -UseBasicParsing

 

Error:[The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.]

 

I am able to run other API services using powershell its only giving me error while restarting it.

If you run the query using an API client does it go through?

Its on clients onframe server I have tried postman on avalable brousers (firefox,IE) but looked like it didn't support these brousers.

I think the issue may be because of the host details that you have entered.

member order and service option are deprecated and i have updated them with new parameters
also the request type option is not correct.

 

Could you use the below host details and try running it.

 

$host_details = [ordered]@{
mode="GROUPED"
restart_option="RESTART_IF_NEEDED"
services=@("ALL")
}

Try this, for initiating the restart:

 

$niosip = "192.168.1.2"
$niosuser = "admin"
$niospw = "infoblox"
$wapiver = "v2.10"

$resturl = 'https://' + $niosip + '/wapi/' + $wapiver + '/request'

$resturl

$data = '
[
  {
    "method":"GET",
    "object":"grid",
    "assign_state": {"grid_ref": "_ref" },
    "enable_substitution": true
  },
  {
    "method":"POST",
    "object": "##STATE:grid_ref:##",
    "enable_substitution": true,
    "args":{"_function":"restartservices"},
    "data":{
      "mode":"GROUPED",
      "restart_option":"RESTART_IF_NEEDED"
    }
  }
]'

$json = $data | ConvertTo-Json

$json

$cred = New-Object PSCredential $niosuser, ($niospw | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)

add-type @"
    using System.Net;
    using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
    
    public class IDontCarePolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
        public IDontCarePolicy() {}
        public bool CheckValidationResult(
            ServicePoint sPoint, X509Certificate cert,
            WebRequest wRequest, int certProb) {
            return true;
        }
    }
"@
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = new-object IDontCarePolicy 

$out = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $resturl -Method Post -Credential $cred -Body $data -ContentType 'application/json'

And try this to monitor the restart status of all the appliances:

 

$niosip = "192.168.1.2"
$niosuser = "admin"
$niospw = "infoblox"
$wapiver = "v2.10"

$resturl = 'https://' + $niosip + '/wapi/' + $wapiver + '/request'

$resturl

$data = '
[
  {
    "method":"GET",
    "object":"grid",
    "assign_state": {"grid_ref": "_ref" },
    "enable_substitution": true
  },
  {
    "method":"POST",
    "object": "##STATE:grid_ref:##",
    "enable_substitution": true,
    "args":{"_function":"restartservices"},
    "data":{
      "mode":"GROUPED",
      "restart_option":"RESTART_IF_NEEDED"
    }
  }
]'

$json = $data | ConvertTo-Json

$json

$cred = New-Object PSCredential $niosuser, ($niospw | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)

add-type @"
    using System.Net;
    using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
    
    public class IDontCarePolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
        public IDontCarePolicy() {}
        public bool CheckValidationResult(
            ServicePoint sPoint, X509Certificate cert,
            WebRequest wRequest, int certProb) {
            return true;
        }
    }
"@
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = new-object IDontCarePolicy 

$out = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $resturl -Method Post -Credential $cred -Body $data -ContentType 'application/json'
