Protocols CIFS sessions endpoint overview

08/30/2024 Contributors

Overview

ONTAP CIFS sessions show functionality is used to provide a list of currently established CIFS sessions with SMB Clients.

Information on the CIFS session

List all the SMB sessions for SVM and the clients along with volume information on which the clients are using.

Example

Retrieves established sessions information

To retrieve the list of CIFS sessions, use the following API. Note that return_records=true.

# The API:
GET /protocols/cifs/sessions

# The call:
curl -X GET "https://<cluster-mgmt-ip>/api/protocols/cifs/sessions?fields=*&return_timeout=15&return_records=true" -H "accept: application/json"

# The response:

Removing all existing CIFS sessions for a specific node on a specific SVM

To delete all the existing CIFS session, pass the identifier and connection ID as zero (0) in the following API. This will delete all of the CIFS sessions for the given SVM on the node.

# The API:
DELETE /protocols/cifs/sessions/{node.uuid}/{svm.uuid}/{identifier}/{connection_id}

# The call:
curl -X DELETE "https://<cluster-mgmt-ip>/api/protocols/cifs/sessions/a5f65ec0-3550-11ee-93c5-005056ae78de/80e795f4-3553-11ee-9f97-005056ae78de/0/0" -H "accept: application/json" -H "authorization: Basic YWRtaW46bmV0YXBwMSE="
