        "status": "DOWN",
        "type": "PRIMARY_DMZ",
        "uri": "http://127.0.0.1:8069"

      {
        "startTime": "",
        "status": "DOWN",
        "type": "SECONDARY_DMZ",
        "uri": "http://10.99.133.8:8020"
      },
      {
        "startTime": "",
        "status": "DOWN",
        "type": "SECONDARY_DMZ",
        "uri": "http://10.99.133.9:8020"

        "status": "UP",
        "type": "WORKING_NODE",

    "status": "UP",
    "version": "26.2.0"
  }
}

LDP-6317

LDP-6278

Pathfinder chat can now be minimized.

LDP-6168

API Manager: Added deprecation-related endpoint configurations as runtime variables.

LDP-6167

New SalesForceBulkIUV2 to support Salesforce Bulk V2, increasing batches per job and cost-efficiency.
