Proxmox Updates Monitoring

[Flo2103]

Hey, I was trying to monitor available updates on nodes using this endpoint '/api2/json/nodes/{node}/apt/update' but it requires Sys.Modify permissions which i don't really understand since it's only a get request. So I would like to know it there is another solution to monitor proxmox updates without giving write permissions.
Thanks

I haven't checked in the code, but I assume that the endpoint will trigger the 'apt update' command to determine available updates - so there will be the side-effect that the apt cache is updated on the node, and thus the permission requirement makes sense.

Hope this helps.
