Added comprehensive API test results document (with ChatGPT assistance): - docs/cove_data_protection_api_calls_known_info.md Key findings from live API testing: - API works: JSON-RPC 2.0 at https://api.backup.management/jsonapi - Authentication: Login method → visa token - Method tested: EnumerateAccountStatistics (limited success) CRITICAL LIMITATIONS DISCOVERED: - Security error 13501 blocks most useful columns - No backup status fields (success/failed/warning) accessible - No error messages (D02Fxx/D03Fxx ranges blocked) - No reliable backup timestamps - No detailed run history - API users are customer-scoped (not MSP-level) - EnumerateAccounts method always fails (security block) Working columns (allow-list only): - I1 (account ID), I14 (storage bytes), I18 (hostname) - D01F00-D01F07, D09F00 (numeric metrics, semantics unclear) Impact on Backupchecks: - Current API access INSUFFICIENT for backup monitoring - Cannot determine if backups succeeded or failed - No error messages to show users - Core Backupchecks functionality not achievable with current API Added decision matrix with 4 options: A. Implement metrics-only (low value, storage usage only) B. Request expanded access from N-able (requires vendor cooperation) C. Explore alternative methods (webhooks, reports, email) D. Defer integration until better API access available Recommendation: Option B or C before implementing anything - Contact N-able support for MSP-level API user + expanded columns - OR investigate if Cove has webhook/reporting alternatives This represents a significant blocker for Cove integration. Full integration requires either vendor cooperation or alternative approach. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
