SVM API "List Scan Result for Each Host"

[ejalexan]

I’m using the API and I noticed that with the “List Scan Result for Each Host” query (https://docs.flexera.com/csi/api/Content/helplibrary/List_Scan_Result_for_Each_Host.htm#svm_api_completed_scan_3551738620_1219696) only allows us to search by “device_id”. Is there a way we are able to search by device name?

or some way to determine what the "device_id" is from the device name? or would this be an enhancement request?

Hi, 

To get device id from device name, use the following API. This is "All Hosts" smartgroup API. From the API response, 'nsi_device_id' json node have device id

api/?action=smart_groups&which=getSmartGroupContents&smartGroupTextType=host&smartGroupId=<1>&?_dc=1663230490412&host_name=<Device Name>&page=1&start=0&limit=30&sorters=[{"field":"host_name","direction":"ASC"}]

Pass smartGroupId and host_name as required.

A sample code to get device details from device id is listed here - https://docs.flexera.com/csi/api/Content/helplibrary/Sample_PowerShell_Code_to_Get_Host_Details.htm

Thanks,
