firemon-api 0.3.4

Python Wrapper for Firemon APIs

This project is for wrapper for the Firemon APIs (Security Manager, etc).

The User Guide available on Read the Docs <https://firemon-api.readthedocs.io/>

Current Philosophy

The firemon-api is an attempt to make a Pythonic wrapper to the FireMon SIP APIs (Security Manager, etc…).

The intent is to hopefully speed up development of projects. There is no intent to do a 1-to-1 reference of all the potential API calls. If that is desired you may try to use the dynamically built functions created using the get_api(). Or read the /api-doc of your FireMon product and make use of the request() function for the individually created application objects.

Request Example:

>>> fm.sm.request(key="device", use_domain=True).get()
[{'id': 27, 'domainId': 1, 'name': 'PA-VM 11.0.1', 'managementIp': <snip...>]

There is currently no intention to follow any version of the FireMon products and so there may be instances where a function worked in one version but no longer in another though this generally is not a problem.

Installation of FireMon API

Install firemon-api into a Python venv.

~$ python3 -m venv ~/virtualenvs/fmapi
~$ source ~/virtualenvs/fmapi/bin/activate
(fmapi) ~$ pip install firemon-api
Collecting firemon-api
...

Usage

Import module. Disable unverfied https certificate warnings. Switch https verification off.

>>> import firemon_api as fmapi
>>> fmapi.disable_warnings()
>>> fm = fmapi.api('saffron', verify=False).auth('firemon', 'firemon')
>>> fm
<Firemon(url='https://saffron', version='10.0.0')>
>>> for dev in fm.sm.devices.all():
...   print(dev.name)

Create a new Device. Newer versions of Firemon require we specify which Collector Group and ID to use. Grab the first Collector Group.

Use all the default information from the device pack for our device.

Add in some required information and other settings to our dictionary.

Create the device.

>>> cg = fm.sm.collectorgroups.all()[0]
>>> config = fm.sm.dp.get('juniper_srx').template()
>>> config['name'] = 'Conan'
>>> config['description'] = 'A test of the API'
>>> config['managementIp'] = '10.2.2.2'
>>> config['collectorGroupId'] = cg.id
>>> config['collectorGroupName'] = cg.name
>>> config['extendedSettingsJson']['password'] = 'abc12345'
>>> dev = fm.sm.devices.create(config)
>>> dev
<Device(Conan)>
