Addigy Legacy Inspector Deprecation and Migration to the Addigy Inspector

Overview 💥

Addigy has completed the retirement of its API v1 platform. Since the Addigy Legacy Inspector depends on API v1, it is no longer able to successfully retrieve data from Addigy.

The good news is that Liongard already provides a replacement—the Addigy Inspector, which uses Addigy's API v2 and is fully supported.

This article explains:

  • Why this change is happening

  • Whether you're affected

  • What the impact is

  • How to migrate to the supported inspector

  • What to expect during the transition


Why is this changing?

Addigy has deprecated and removed support for API v1 in favor of API v2.

This is a change made by Addigy not Liongard. Because the Legacy Inspector communicates exclusively through API v1, it can no longer collect information once that API is unavailable.

The current Addigy Inspector has already been updated to use API v2 and is the recommended inspector for all Addigy integrations moving forward.


Am I affected?

You are affected only if you're using the Addigy Legacy Inspector.

To verify which inspector you're using:

  1. Open the Liongard portal.

  2. Navigate to Admin → Inspectors.

  3. Locate your Addigy system.

  4. Check the Inspector Type.

Migrate to the Addigy Inspector

If you're already using the Addigy Inspector, there's nothing you need to change.


What happens if I continue using the Legacy Inspector?

Because the Legacy Inspector relies on API v1, inspections will no longer be able to retrieve data from Addigy. This may result in:

  • Failed inspections

  • Missing or stale device information

  • Outdated documentation

  • Missing alerts

  • Incomplete reports

  • Visual Insights dashboards no longer receiving updated Addigy data

Existing historical inspection data isn't immediately removed, but no new data will be collected until you migrate.

✅ Benefits of migrating

Migrating to the current Addigy Inspector allows you to continue using Liongard without interruption. Benefits include:

  • Continued inventory collection

  • Continued documentation updates

  • Support for Addigy's current API

  • Ongoing compatibility with future Addigy enhancements

  • Improved long-term reliability

  • Continued alerting and reporting with better data visibility

  • Continued Monitoring

⭐️ Before you begin

Before configuring the new inspector, make sure you have:

  • Administrator access to your Addigy account

  • Permission to create API tokens

  • Access to your Liongard environment


Creating an Addigy API Token

The current Addigy Inspector uses API v2. To create an API token:

  1. Sign in to Addigy.

  2. Navigate to Account → Integrations.

  3. Select New API Token.

  4. Create the token.

  5. Copy the generated token for use in Liongard.

Note ‼️

You no longer need separate API v1 Client IDs or Client Keys. The current inspector authenticates using the API token generated through the Integrations page.


Configuring the Addigy Inspector

Once you've generated your API token:

  1. In Liongard, navigate to Admin → Inspectors → Inspector Types.

  2. Select Addigy.

  3. Choose Add System.

  4. Complete the inspector configuration.

  5. Enter your Addigy API Token.

  6. Save the configuration.

  7. Run an inspection to verify connectivity.

After the first successful inspection, confirm that devices and policies are being collected as expected.


Recommended migration process

For the smoothest transition, we recommend following this order:

Step 1 : Create the new Addigy Inspector.

Step 2 : Run an inspection.

Step 3 : Verify that expected devices, policies, and other information are being collected.

Step 4 : Review any reports, automations, or Visual Insights dashboards that reference Addigy data.

Step 5 : Once you've confirmed the new inspector is working correctly, retire or remove the Addigy Legacy Inspector.

Following this process helps ensure there is no interruption to your monitoring.


What happens to my historical data?

Historical inspection results collected by the Legacy Inspector remain available according to Liongard's standard data retention policies. If you rely on historical reports or dashboards, we recommend confirming that the new inspector is collecting data successfully before retiring the Legacy Inspector.
