Compatible Version parameter in Defender API

Hello everyone,

So, I am working on some automation using Prisma Cloud API for Compute. I am using the API to get the list of deployed defenders.

I am able to see a parameter in the JSON response that is "compatibleVersion". I wanted to know how this is being calculated. What parameters are we checking and what does it mean?

API Details: https://pan.dev/prisma-cloud/api/cwpp/get-defenders/

Adding schema example below.

Let me know if any details are required from my side, would be happy to explain further.

If the defender version falls inside N-2 of the console version then the defender will be able to communicate with the console. compatibleVersion would report true.

If the defender version is outside of N-2 then the defender would not be able to communicate with the console.

compatibleVersion would report false requiring you to update this defender before it can communicate with the console again.

Referring to the screenshot, I deployed a 22_01_890 onebox console with a 22_01_890 container defender on a second host. Updated the console several times to 22_01_890, 22_06_234, and 22_12_415.

As soon as the console was upgraded to 22_12_415, the 22_01_890 container defender reported false for compatibleVersion
