    We use the AOS-CX API and NetBox to configure our Aruba CX based VXLAN fabric. One step in the process is to create an auto checkpoint before uploading the configuration to ensure that a configuration change won't interrupt the connection to the switch. We realised that the auto checkpoints remain on the system as user checkpoints despite sending an "acknowledge". We'd like to erase old auto checkpoints via the API, however, I don't seem to find any way to do this in the v10.10 API. Is there a way to achieve this?

    Starting from a late 10.12 release (to stay within a Long Supported Release (LSR), I'd recommend 10.13), the auto-checkpoint behaviour changed to not create 'user checkpoints', but introduce a new category of 'confirm checkpoint', that is always named 'auto-confirm-backup'.
    That one always over-writes the former version, so the counter keeps at '1'.
    This should solve the problem of filling up the user checkpoint list by just running the auto-checkpoint feature.

    With regards to 'user checkpoint' deletion in general: It seems there is no way to do so via API.
