API Limitations (Requires Hyperping Server Changes)

These cannot be fixed provider-side:

Bug #	Issue	Workaround
#1	Renderer uses v1 numeric IDs for status	UUID-to-numeric translation on every write
#6/#7	Incident/maintenance text not returned on GET	Plan value preservation
#17	settings.name overridden by resource.name on read	replaceSettingsName() restoration
#20	Nested service description not persisted	Plan-time warning (v1.8.3) + state preservation
#21	Nested service show_response_times defaults to true	Send on write + state preservation
#22	Monitor required_keyword not returned on GET (possible regression)	State preservation (v1.8.1)

Out of Scope (Requires New API Endpoints)

• New monitor types (SMTP, IMAP, SSH, FTP, NTP, WHOIS)
• Integration resources (Slack, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, webhook destinations)
• SLO/SLA target resources
• On-call calendar/rotation resources
• Contact group management
• Severity/priority level resources
• Browser/transaction check support
• Real User Monitoring
• Multi-account/subaccount support
• Dashboard/reporting resources
