  • Port — The HTTPS port number for the ONTAP REST API, defaults to 443.
  • Filters — Optional filters to apply on the CIFS sessions list using ONTAP API filter expressions (e.g., 'type=rw,state=!offline'). Includes an option to return all matching sessions or limit the results to a specified number.
  • Options — Additional options including a comma-separated list of fields to include in the response (use '*' for all fields).

Output shape

Returned data fields can be controlled via the 'Fields' option. Errors during request execution will be reported unless workflow is set to continue on fail.

Examples

Specify the Cluster Host and keep 'Return All' set to true (default).

Provide the 'Cluster Host', set 'Return All' to false, specify a 'Limit', and optionally use 'API Filters' and 'Fields' to narrow and customize returned data.
