Search Machines

Search for machines in your environment. Get details such as the machine ID, host name of the machine, and other machine statistics by invoking the following endpoint:

POST https://YourAccount.lacework.net/api/v2/Entities/Machines/search

The results reflect the online machines for the specified time frame. Machines that were not online do not appear in the results.

FortiCNAPP highly recommends specifying a time range. Without a specified time range, the request uses the default time range of 24 hours prior to the current time. The maximum time range per API request is 7 days. To use the current time as the end time, exclude the endTime field.

You can optionally filter the returned machines by machine ID, host name, primary IP address, and more. For more information, see MACHINE_SUMMARY_V View.

Here are some example body payloads:

• { "timeFilter": { "startTime": "2021-08-28T20:30:00Z", "endTime": "2021-08-28T22:30:00Z"}}
• { "timeFilter": { "startTime": "2021-08-28T20:30:00Z", "endTime": "2021-08-28T22:30:00Z"}, "filters": [ { "field": "mid", "expression": "eq", "value": "12345" } ] }
• { "timeFilter": { "startTime": "2021-08-28T20:30:00Z", "endTime": "2021-08-28T22:30:00Z"}, "filters": [ { "field": "mid", "expression": "eq", "value": "12345" }, { "field": "machineTags.ExternalIp", "expression": "eq", "value": "35.163.78.148" } ],
  "returns": [ "hostname", "machineTags", "mid", "primaryIpAddr" ] }

Within request bodies, nested field names that contain one or more special characters—e.g., dot ("."), colon (":"), or slash ("/")—must be enclosed in escaped double quotes. For example, the field name spotinst:aws:ec2:group:createdBy nested under the machineTags field would be rendered as follows:

"machineTags.\"spotinst:aws:ec2:group:createdBy\""

In a filter, the example would appear as follows:

{ "field": "machineTags.\"spotinst:aws:ec2:group:createdBy\"", "expression": "eq", "value": "spotinst" }

In addition, forward slash characters within field names must be escaped with a backslash, as in the following example:

"machineTags.\"kubernetes.io\/cluster\/prod1\""
