Hi folks,

We're migrating our server backups from NetBackup to Rubrik. Our NetBackup data fed into Apptio via a file export/import process. We want to get away from that and implement an API into Rubrik. For now, I need the server being backed up and the total GB used. For long-term retention policies where the server may no longer exist, I'd need the job name as well. Has anyone configured an API into Rubrik? If so, we'd be interested to see how you did it.

Thank you,

Keith

Rubrik is uses an API-first architecture, so I would try using the Datalink REST connector first. It has to be a simple pull (not multi-step) with a GET statement.

Hi Keith
I am trying to get some answers for you on this question.
@Brad Giles - this is the question I was contacting you about the other day.  Could you possibly shed some light on the topic for Keith?​

Circling back on this... We tried using GET API commands to pull tags out of our VMWare environment, but Datalink didn't support using GET. We had several Apptio folks helping with the conversation. I'm wondering if anyone has written a working API for Rubrik? If so, please post it here.

Thank you,

Keith
