Missing value from the netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_cli module for "options command"

[vocal void]

We are trying to manage replication throttling on our NetApp systems in smaller locations. Instead of just setting the value every time, I would like to check the currently configured value for the replication throttle option first.

Using the rest_cli module, I can set the option without any problems. However, when I try to retrieve this option, I do get the option name, but the value is missing.

I also tried accessing it directly via the API call to:
https://<host-name>/api/private/cli/options/

But there as well, I only get the option names, not the actual values.

Here is the task I’m using:

• name: Get outgoing replication throttle status (SSH) via RestAPI
  netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_cli:
  hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
  username: "{{ ansible_user }}"
  password: "{{ ansible_password }}"
  command: options
  verb: GET
  params:
  option_name: replication.throttle.enable

Can someone help me figure out how to also retrieve the option value?

"All fields that you want returned from the GET call must be specified using the fields parameter"

try adding fields: option-name,option-value to your params

hi mamoep 🙂 awesome in the same time i figuredit out

https://<host-name>/api/private/cli/options?fields=option_value

it works as well with ansible

• name: Get outgoing replication throttle status (SSH) via RestAPI
  netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_cli:
  hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
  username: "{{ ansible_user }}"
  password: "{{ ansible_password }}"
  command: options?fields=option_value
  verb: GET
  params:
  option_name: replication.throttle.enable
