list_discovery_connections - engine_id is blank when output

[Choppra]

discoveryc = nsc.list_discovery_connections()
discoveryc.each do |discovery|
puts discovery.engine_id

I can return discovery.name and discovery.status just fine but engine_id is empty. Also, I did nothing a few others were not returning any values but engine_id is important to my script.

Hi @Choppra

Can you let us know which type of Discovery Connection you're using? It should be one the following options:

[Choppra]

@sgreen-r7 Sorry, I should have included that. DHCP Service.

[sgreen-r7]

Yeah, this looks to be a bug within the Nexpose gem. We'll get it on the roadmap, and try and get an update out soon.

[Choppra]

Thanks, I had to resort to using the API via Powershell for now.

[sgreen-r7]

@Choppra this should be fixed now: https://github.com/rapid7/nexpose-client/releases/tag/v6.1.1
upgrade your gem to version 6.1.1 and you should be getting the engine_id.

I'll go ahead and leave this issue open for a bit to let us know it's working for you.
thanks again!

[Choppra]

Yes! Confirmed it works now. Engine-ID is now showing up. Shouldn't type return a value as well? I tried to return it but it came back blank as well. https://gist.github.com/Choppra/83cb2ae464e6b5342068867dadf70747

Unfortunately the type is not included in the XML API response that is used for the listing request.

[sgreen-r7]

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation @Choppra.
Going to go ahead and close out this issue in that case.

Feel free to open up another issue to feature request the type for discovery connection. We can tag it Feature Request and we'll see what we can do about getting it added.
