10.3 Recovery API Interface Service List
The API service calls should not be used in normal operation and their equivalents in the API service list should
be utilised. These services are intended for recovering the Sentinel to a working state if it is being unresponsive
to API calls and there is no local access available to the unit to perform corrective actions.
These services are not limited to https, may not make use of any https certificate installed and also do not
require authentication for use. These limitations are all intended to aid recovery as some of these mechanisms
may be the cause of limited API access normally.
