The endpoint restconf/data/openconfig-system:system/f5-system-diagnostics-qkview:diagnostics/f5-system-diagnostics-docker:os-utils/f5-system-diagnostics-docker:docker/f5-system-diagnostics-docker:restart can be used (with POST) to restart some Docker containers. However it will fail with the message "restart aborted", e.g.: { "f5-system-diagnostics-docker:output": { "result": "snmpd restart aborted" } }
