MIM Nexus
-
Hello,
I just came across this.Will the Nexus license be included by default with the appliances, or will it need to be purchased separately? And what about using the API engine via non-MIM scripts?
Thank you

@philippe-richard The appliance will be able to control itself, but the ability to control additional instances are sold on a subscription basis.
Not sure what you mean by "using the API engine via non-MIM scripts." Netgate Nexus has a full API, and you should be able to do anything with the API that you could do in the GUI.
Hope this helps!

@philippe-richard I haven't worked with that other package, but I think it must be just a "shim" into the PHP layer of pfSense. The Netgate Nexus API is actually built-in and part of the system. It is RESTful, so you can interact with it using common tools like cURL, python scripts, Postman, or whatever method you choose.
When you are controlling multiple instances, you can use the API on the controller to target a single instance, a group of instances (via tags), or all instances when making changes. Its pretty slick.

@philippe-richard As of right now, the product has not officially launched and so the documentation has not yet been updated. Netgate Nexus will be available in pfSense+ version 25.03 and later. However, if you want to see some python examples of working with the API, as well as the whole schema, you can find them here:
