Another 'Unable to find API' using Perl

JohnBill — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:26:03 GMT

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use NaServer;
use NaElement;

my $s = NaServer->new ("cluster1", 1, 32);
$s->set_style('LOGIN');
$s->set_admin_user("admin", "password");
$s->set_transport_type('HTTP');
$s->set_server_type('FILER');

my $in = NaElement->new("audit-log-get-iter");
my $out = $s->invoke_elem($in);
if ($out->results_status() eq "failed") {
    print($out->results_reason() ."\n");
    exit(1);
}

When I run this code I get

Unable to find API: audit-log-get-iter.

This API is in the cluster family according to the OntapClusterAPI doc so I am not setting a vserver and I'm logging into the cluster management LIF. Other Cluster family APIs work (like audit-get) but audit-log-get-iter does not. Any ideas?

Hi John,

I had a look at the API version in the NMSDK and it appears that the "audit-log-get-iter" is supported in ONTAP9.X (API version 1, 100). Which version of ONTAP are you trying to invoke the API against? Here is an example for ONTAP9.0

Hope that helps

You are right. Thanks for the info. Now to figure out another way to get the audit logs off the filers....
