Get-RubrikSnapshot by snapshot id

[sam-bryant]

Summary

I'm trying to retrieve data on a specific snapshot. I already have the snapshot id, so I'd like to query on this directly rather than passing in the object the snapshot is associated with.

Desired solution

Get-RubrikSnapshot -SnapshotId 1234

Current workaround

Invoke-RubrikRESTCall -Endpoint "mssql/db/snapshot/1234" -Method GET

Let me know if I can provide any additional information.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam, thanks for reporting this, I've given it some thought and this is what I came up with.

I would be looking at implementing it like this, specifying the snapshot type and the snapshot id, similar to how Get-RubrikRequest works, where you can specify the request type:

Get-RubrikSnapshot -SnapshotId 1234 -SnapshotType vmware/vm

&

Get-RubrikSnapshot -SnapshotId 1234

Would that be a workable solution, it will provide the option to either specify the endpoint manually, or by having the cmdlet determine the snapshot type by querying all the snapshot endpoints, which would mean the cmdlet will query all the snapshot endpoints in order to determine what type of object is protected by the cmdlet.

What do you think?

Hi Jaap,

That solution sounds fine to me.

Thanks!

Hello @sam-bryant,

I've taken a stab at the code, it's available in the jaap-snapshot branch and queued for review in PR #746.

Let me know what you think!

Jaap
