Hello everyone,
During the partner roadshow in Hockenheim, I vaguely remember that it was mentioned in some presentation that there is a way to check/monitor whether firewalls are properly sending their backups to Sophos Central.
When I look at the Central APIs, I don't see anything related to that. Even in the Sophos Central Firewall Backup interface, I can only select the firewalls that can be backed up and download a created backup.
We increasingly have the problem that backups sent via email get lost, are too large, get rejected, and so on. Since we believe that email is not a good medium for this purpose, it would be great if we had more options through Central to ensure that the backups are running properly.
For example:
- API query for all backups available in Central per serial number or cluster
- Event / Alarm when backups are missing (with adjustable threshold or grace period...)
- Event / Alert for Firewalls without configured backup
The Firewall API itself also does not seem to support anything in regards to this.
Thank you in advance!
~ Ben
