Possible ways to pull a Interface and link details from Spectrum

[Sachin MS]

Hello Team,

There is a requirement to pull interface and link details which are modelled in Spectrum for multiple device types(R&S, LBs, Firewall etc) at one go for a Data Center.
Is there a script or automatic solution to pull this information from backend Spectrum?

Modeling Gateway at one go. The problem with it it that is not as fast as REST and you still have to configure it somehow to match your expectations. I recommend that you use REST. It is faster. The latest version has also swagger, so building the required calls would be easier.

HI,

Thanks for the update.
Is there a possible way to configure filter in locator for the links modeled on a particular day?

No. Links are associations between two models and there's no attribute that stores the timestamp when a link between 2 models has been created. At least none that I know of.

You should check to see if there are events that show up whenever a link is created. At least for a manually created link. Maybe you can investigate the possibility of defining a custom attribute at interface level that would be updated with the timestamp of the last connection being made to the port model, based on the event that is generated when a connection is being made to the port. You'd have to use Event Procedures for that. 

After that, filter/export your devices based on the value of that attribute with the timestamp.
