Strong collaboration between LOGINventory and OpenCelium in the development of interfaces

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
