Strong collaboration between LOGINventory and OpenCelium

We are pleased to announce the collaboration between LOGINventory and OpenCelium: Popular IT applications such as i-doit, Jira Service Desk, DataGerry, PRTG and many more can now be connected directly to LOGINventory via the Open Source API Hub. This means that assets (or CIs) recorded with LOGINventory can be created and updated fully automatically in these third-party systems. Information from these systems can also be stored directly in LOGINventory so that you can see open tickets on the assets, for example. Read about the new integrations here.

Simon Stein (Managing Director) from LOGINventory and Jakob Semere (CTO) from becon worked closely together to develop the interfaces. Mr. Stein and his team have expanded the LOGINventory API as required so that classic use cases from practice can be implemented with the OpenCelium connectors.

The LOGINventory software is an IT asset management solution for the automated inventory and management of hardware, software, configuration and IT peripherals in company networks. The managed data is used in LOGINventory for IT documentation or license management and can be used to populate third-party systems.

OpenCelium takes over the management of the interfaces and their synchronization in a central position – as an API hub, so to speak, to which the applications are docked: without code, via wizard, end-to-end. It is an open source, web-based tool that is easy to use. All RESTful API interfaces can be seamlessly docked. A large number of API connectors for various applications in IT operations and IT service management are already available, and more are constantly being developed.

Integrations with LOGINventory and OpenCelium

First of all, it was important to us that we wanted to create integrations in different system areas. To do this, we looked at the areas of CMDB, ticketing and monitoring and identified use cases.



CMDB integration: LOGINventory and i-doit / DataGerry

The two popular CMDB-solutions i-doit and DataGerry are filled with data fully automatically: CIs or objects are created in the CMDB and filled with important information such as name, type, model, serial number, operating system, IP address, MAC address, inventory number, hard disk information, etc. In addition, relevant software packages can be created in the CMDB and linked to the asset. LOGINventory serves as a data supplier and manual export and import is a thing of the past.



Ticketing integration

Service Desk solutions, such as Jira Service Desk, OTRS and many more, can be filled with asset data from LOGINventory, just like CMDB systems, so that you can see details such as model, serial number or main user for each device at a glance. In addition, information on open tickets is stored as lifecycle entries directly on the asset in LOGINventory. You can see all details on the ticket status from here and can also open the ticket in the helpdesk via a direct link.

Monitoring integration: LOGINventory and PRTG

For the popular monitoring solution PRTG, OpenCelium can be used to create devices from LOGINventory fully automatically in PRTG and, for example, to create a host or a sensor such as Ping or RDP.

Further integrations are already being planned.

Whitepaper | Digitizing Business Processes

The following 7 tips will help you digitize your business processes. One challenge in the programmatic mapping of IT or business processes is overcoming application boundaries. At some point, the functional spectrum of an application comes to an end and you have to pass the data baton to another application so that the process can continue undisturbed without any manual intermediate steps. In our whitepaper, we tell you how this works.
