Breathe Underwater

I am having to make some changes to an object group in the Firesight management platform for my firewalls. Some of these changes required me to add and remove a 50-100 network entries at one time and doing it by hand was going to take a while and could also be prone to errors. I started to research the options for using the api interface for Firesight and came across this YouTube video from Cisco Devnet showing how to use the API Explorer built into firesight and showing how I could easily take and copy out a program so that I could build the object group very easily with a python script. So now I have taken what was started in the API Explorer and modifying it to pull the data out of my central address repository, format the data, and then build the script to run. You can see the in process script here.
