Hello everyone,

I'm trying to pull interface data from Aruba Central, but I've noticed that the interface description (desc) doesn't seem to be included in the API response.

The API call I'm using: get /monitoring/v1/cx_switches/{serial}/ports

In this response, I don't see any desc or similar field for the port description.

I couldn't find any other API endpoint that provides this information either.

Does anyone know if there's a way to retrieve interface descriptions via the API? The description field is quite important for us.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I didn't found an API that will give the interface description either.

However, in the New Central API I'm able to get the requested info

API: https://developer.arubanetworks.com/new-central/reference/listinterfaces

API call: {{baseUrl}}/network-monitoring/v1alpha1/switch/{serial}/interfaces?site-id={siteid}&filter="name eq 1/1/2"
