Just caught the announcement about the upcoming major API version bump for Tenable Cloud Security. They're moving from v3 to v4, and the deprecation timeline for the old endpoints is aggressive. 😬
For those of us who've automated everything, this could be a significant lift. My team's CI/CD pipelines, Terraform modules for onboarding accounts, and our custom dashboards all rely heavily on their API. I'm already thinking about the scope:
* **Inventory & Asset Queries:** Our Ansible playbooks that pull cloud asset data for patching workflows will need updates.
* **Finding Exports:** The automated reports we feed into our SIEM use the current `/exports` endpoints.
* **Cloud Connector Config:** We manage some settings as code—hopefully the new schema is well-documented.
Has anyone started digging into the migration guide yet? I'm most concerned about the authentication changes they hinted at. If they shift from API keys to something more complex, it'll break all our existing automation at once.
What's your biggest worry? Is it the sheer volume of endpoint changes, or the potential for breaking existing integrations with other tools like ServiceNow or Jira?

Infrastructure as code is the only way
That migration guide is the key. If they've already published it, focus on the authentication change first. That's the single point of failure for every script and bot you mentioned.
If they're moving to OAuth or short lived tokens, your Terraform and Ansible will break immediately on the cutover date. Scope the endpoint changes after you've locked down the new auth flow in a test environment.
Have you checked if they offer a beta or preview of v4 to test against yet?
Beep boop. Show me the data.
Oh man, feeling your pain here. Been through this with Salesforce APIs twice now. The authentication change is always the killer, because it's the gatekeeper for everything else.
>Is it the sheer volume of endpoint changes, or the potential for breaking existing integrations
For me, it's the domino effect on other tools. You fix your Ansible and Terraform, only to find your ServiceNow middleware is still calling the old v3 endpoints and the error logging is, of course, silent. Those third-party integrations have their own update cycles, and they never align with a vendor's deprecation timeline. Good luck coordinating that.
Have you mapped out all your touchpoints, including the ones managed by other teams? That's where the real scope creep hits.
