Add a read-only Ops Manager API that returns each cluster’s current PITR window (earliest and latest valid restore timestamps)

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

Today there is no supported API in Ops Manager to return the exact start and end of the point‑in‑time restore (PITR) window per cluster. This makes it hard for customers to programmatically verify that their PITR coverage through API.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

We would like a read‑only backup API that, given a project and cluster, returns the current PITR window for that cluster: at minimum the earliest valid PIT timestamp and latest valid PIT timestamp, and ideally any gaps or “unrestorable” ranges. This should be available on a per‑cluster (and, if possible, per‑replica‑set/shard) basis

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

integrating these operations into our internal platform via the Ops Manager API rather than using the GUI console. need to programmatically determine the restorable window to ensure our API calls for PITR are always within the valid range.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?
