API Preview The API Preview allows you to view all REST API requests being used by the page. You can make changes on the page that are reflected in the API request preview. This feature is not available if the user is logged in as an administrator that has read-only GUI permissions.
To use the API Preview:
  1. Click API Preview. The API Preview pane opens, and the values for the fields are visible (data). If a new object is being created, the POST request is shown.
  2. Enable Show modified changes only to show the modified changes instead of the full configuration in the preview.
  3. Click Copy to Clipboard to copy the JSON code shown on the preview screen to the clipboard.
  4. Click Close to leave the preview.
To create a decrypted traffic mirror profile in the CLI:

config firewall decrypted-traffic-mirror

edit <name_of_profile>

set dstmac <destination_MAC_addresss>

set traffic-type {ssl | ssh}

set traffic-source {client | server | both}

set interface <interface_name>

next

end

For example:

config firewall decrypted-traffic-mirror

edit "1"

set dstmac ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

set traffic-type ssl ssh

set traffic-source both

set interface "port1"

next

end
