Restorepoint SyncPack, version 2.3.0

Version 2.3.0 of the "Restorepoint" SyncPack adds multi-password support, a new application for syncing compliance alerts from Restorepoint to SL1 as events, and improves the efficiency and scalability of onboarding bulk devices.

This SyncPack uses the "Restorepoint" PowerPack.

Features Included in this Release

The following features were added in this release:

  • Added the new "Restorepoint: Gather Compliance Logs From Restorepoint" application to the SyncPack to sync compliance alerts from Restorepoint back to SL1. Running this application triggers the "Restorepoint : Update Event Info in SL1" application to create an event for the compliance alert in SL1.
  • Added multi-password support to the SyncPack to work in conjunction with the new "Restorepoint Second Password" Dynamic Application that was added to the Restorepoint PowerPack. If you have a device requiring two sets of credentials, both sets are now synced to Restorepoint.
  • Added the grouping_device_count configuration option to the "Restorepoint: Onboard Device" and "Restorepoint: Sync Devices" applications, which allows you to define how many devices can be processed in each run of the application.
  • Updated the SyncPack to support syncing multiple instances of SL1 to one instance of Restorepoint.

  • Made a number of scale improvements to the SyncPack:

    • Updated the "Restorepoint: Onboard Device" and "Restorepoint: Sync Devices" applications so that SL1 device details are sent in a single API call when onboarding bulk devices.

    • Improved the "Get 'Dynamic Applications' aligned with" and "Get credential details from SL1" steps when onboarding bulk devices.

    • Improved the "Restorepoint: Onboard Device" application so that organization and Restorepoint domain details are properly retrieved when onboarding bulk devices.

    • Improved the "Restorepoint: Onboard Device" application so that device class and collector group details are properly retrieved when onboarding bulk devices.

    • Updated the "Look for a Restorepoint credential" step of the "Restorepoint: Onboard Device" application to make onboarding bulk devices more efficient. Additionally, the step was renamed to "Create and Update Restorepoint Credential".

    • Updated the "Create Restorepoint Device" step of the "Restorepoint : Onboard Device" application to make onboarding bulk devices more efficient.

  • Updated the "Update the SL1 device custom attribute" step of the "Restorepoint: Onboard Device" application to ensure correct results and reduce the number of API calls.
  • After onboarding devices, if devices have the same credential, they will now be aligned to that credential set and their device IDs will be updated. If the devices have different credentials, the new credential set will be created.
  • Updated the "Get list of credentials from Restorepoint" step of the "Restorepoint: Get List Of Credentials From SL1" application to display data as expected when the SL1 credential is changed.
