Thank you for the clarification.  I was asking for my own benefit as well as to better inform the elasticsearch beats maintainers that they are developing to the wrong api.

Yes, this is addressing two different REST apis. The old ceph-rest-api
(with /api/v0.1 endpoints) was deprecated and eventually removed from
the ceph project. It was superseded by the restful ceph-mgr module,
more specifically by the /request endpoint in the module, see the docs
about the /request endpoint for more details.

I believe Wyllys is talking about third-party packages, we no longer
support ceph-rest-api, the ticket should be created against those
projects so that they use the new rest api.

Alternatively, it should still be possible to run the old
ceph-rest-api even in recent ceph releases. However, you are on your
own here as the code was already deprecated and it is not maintained
by ceph developers.
