Deprecation

Deprecated three reports and their corresponding APIs

We have deprecated three reports and APIs in favor of more powerful reporting. Our previous reports, while valuable in their time, have become redundant and lack the detailed information needed for comprehensive usage analysis. To address this, we've developed improved versions of these reports with richer details, providing a more comprehensive view of your tenant's usage.

Listed below are the deprecated reports with their corresponding APIs

Report Name

API Endpoint

Tenant Consumption Report

msp/v2/reports/consumption

msp/v2/reports/consumption/summary

Tenant Quota Consumption Report

msp/v2/reports/quota

msp/v2/reports/quota/summary

Backupset Report

msp/v2/reports/backupsets

Thereby, subscribe to the new reports and upgrade your automation or monitoring tool with new APIs in the place of deprecated ones. The new reports and their respective APIs are:

New Reports

API Endpoints

Tenant Consumption Report Version 2.0

Fixed Issue

Issue

Description

MSP-10286

We have fixed the issue where the Sandbox customers received renewal alerts when the MSP administrator extended the license expiry date beyond the allowed three years.

August 22, 2024

Enhancement

Reduce complexity with unified license renewal alerts

To streamline communication and reduce confusion, we have consolidated all license renewal alerts into a single and unified notification. Previously, you had to subscribe to multiple alert types to get license renewal alerts for Evaluation and Commercial tenants. Now, you can subscribe to a comprehensive and unified alert covering the license renewal of Evaluation, Sandbox, and Commercial tenants.

What's Changing:

  • The old alert types (POC License - Renewed, Commercial License - Renewed) have been consolidated into a single, new alert: License Renewed.

  • MSPs who are already subscribed to the POC and Commercial License - Renewed alerts can not receive the alert notifications.

  • The old alerts will be deprecated in the coming days.

Key Benefits:

  • Simplified Communication: A single alert streamlines the notification process, making it easier to stay informed.

  • Improved Clarity: By combining alerts, we've eliminated potential confusion arising from multiple notifications under different headings.

  • Enhanced Efficiency: This change reduces the administrative burden on MSPs.

  • Unified Alert for All Customers: You can now subscribe to a single unified alert covering the license renewal of Evaluation, Sandbox, and Commercial tenants.

Customer Actions required:

Subscribe to the new consolidated license renewal alert to receive the alert notifications.

July 25, 2024

Enhancement

Simplified details in the Customer Level Events API

We've simplified the details field in the API response of Customer Level Events API to provide a more developer-friendly experience. Previously, the details field was returned as a stringified JSON object, requiring consumers to parse it manually. With this update, the details field is now directly returned as a valid JSON object.

Key Changes:

Benefits:

  • Reduced processing time: Consumers no longer need to perform unnecessary stringification and parsing operations.

  • Improved efficiency: Simplifies API integration and reduces potential error points.

Action required: Existing consumers of the Customer Level Events API should start using the new API endpoint to accommodate the new changes.

July 11, 2024

New Feature

Streamlined Monitoring and Alerting for MSPs with Event-Driven APIs

Traditionally, monitoring required continuous checks on systems to detect changes. This can be inefficient and lead to information overload. Event-driven monitoring works differently. You can now leverage MSP event APIs to get the details about MSP alerts, audit trails, subscription history, and login activities. You can integrate the responses from these event APIs with your favorite monitoring tools. This unlocks a world of possibilities for customized dashboards, alerts, and even ticket generation.

Key benefits:

  • Reduced Noise, Increased Focus: Focus on what matters! Receive alerts only when events occur, eliminating unnecessary notifications and streamlining your workflow.

  • Customizable Monitoring: Tailor your monitoring experience to your specific needs. Leverage third-party tools to create custom dashboards, alerts, and even automate ticket generation for faster issue resolution.

  • Improved Manageability: Gain a comprehensive view of your entire infrastructure, allowing for proactive problem identification and improved overall manageability.

For more information about events APIs, see MSP-level event APIs.

Enhancement

User Provisioning Report Enhancement

Added a new "Mapping" column to the Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace User Provisioning report. This column displays the highest priority mapping used for importing each user.

For more information, see the User Provisioning Report for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

New Feature

Consolidated M365 & Google Workspace Reports Now on MSC

Simplify tenant management with M365 and Google Workspace reports, now available in the Managed Services Center (MSC). MSPs can access reports directly within MSC, streamlining operational efficiency. Before the introduction of this feature, MSPs needed to access individual tenant consoles whenever they wanted to view reports. This process was time-consuming and inefficient.

This eliminates the traditional workflow of accessing reports through individual tenant consoles, saving MSPs valuable time and effort.

The availability of these reports in the MSC eliminates the need to visit individual tenant consoles, allowing you to:

  • Boost Efficiency: Effortlessly access consolidated reports, saving you valuable time.

  • Reduce Costs: Access all your customers’ reports from a single platform, eliminating the need to switch between individual tenant consoles. This capability translates to increased productivity and potentially higher margins for your business.

  • Enhanced Visibility: Gain a holistic view of product usage across your customer base, allowing for better-informed decisions.

See the reporting documentation for details on using Consolidated M365 and Google Workspace reports within MSC.

  • Storage Consumption Report: Provides detailed information on Storage Consumption by backup sets depending on your access privileges.

  • Alert History Report: A report on alerts and severity to indicate how serious an issue is and ensure it is addressed promptly.

  • Resource Status Report: Offers a quick view of the status of all Azure VMs configured for backups and the backup set details.

New Feature

New APIs for reporting automation and integration

MSP Admins can now leverage new APIs to automatically generate reports for Endpoints, Hybrid Workloads, and Cyber Resilience. This eliminates manual report creation, saving you valuable time.

These APIs utilize a single set of MSC credentials, eliminating the need to manage separate credentials for each customer.

The enhanced API response includes customer name, account name, and customer ID, simplifying data integration with your existing tools and removing the need to maintain a separate customer list.

New Feature

Customer-level Event API Access for MSPs

MSPs can now leverage Event APIs to call customer-specific events.

Events API capability helps administrators to:

  • Get the job events in a single API call

  • Monitor job failures and take corrective actions

  • Integrate the exported events with the third-party SIEM tool

Events APIs are designed in such a way that -

  • MSPs can use a single set of API credentials generated from the MSC eliminating the need to manage separate credentials for each customer.

  • Events API response is enhanced to include the customer name and customer ID as a unique identifier for each row. This simplifies data consumption within your integration tools, removing the need to maintain a separate list of customer names.
