I am working with the Softlayer API to get data on Virtual Guests and Hardware Servers. I want to find a way to get open ports, i.e. to find out if port 80, or 3306, or custom ports are open on the server.
I cannot seem to find a way to do this through the API. I've dug down into many calls, servers, firewalls, routers, networks etc.
Is this possible through the API? I am not seeing this information in control.softlayer.com either.
Unfortunately, there is not possible to get that information through API and Control Portal. You should check them inside your server.
