Is there a manual for the Sophos UTM Rest API?

Would have been better if the API worked using SSL (like the Sophos Firewall).

I only found the HELP function on the UTM and a bit more extended explanation in the manual https://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/utm9408_manual_eng.pdf

Chapter 4.2.4.

Is there documentation for this REST API?

I know the API Help for XG is here: http://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/v16011/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/index.html#page/onlinehelp%2FAppendixGGuides.html%23 and I didnt read anywhere that it received an update :)

Very excited to see the REST api. In addition to the info in the original post, I saw this in the 9.408 release notes email:

"For more information, check out our API Quick Start Guide available in your UTM WebAdmin console by browsing to the following URL: https://ip_address_of_UTM:4444/api/"

... which is great except that URL just says "REST API Disabled" when I browse to it after enabling it in Management - WebAdmin Settings - REST API.

Yep, I was just thinking about that this morning, wondering if there was a problem with the API enabling properly for a HA deployment. I'll break the pair in my test environment and confirm. Did you get that information from support, or just via y our own testing? If this is by design the usefulness of the API just dropped dramatically.

I was playing around and found it not actve in my HA systems.

I think, the API on UTM is in a pre-alpha, hope, it will be usable in some month and expect a usable documentation then.

Hi papa_,

This issue was fixed with the 9.410 release that has been released for the on premises version today. This is stated as "NUTM-6296 [AWS] REST API doesn't work in cluster mode" in UTM 9.410.

It would be very helpful for us to understand, which functionality is currently missing, from your point of view.

Thank you very much for your feedback!
