CMDB API

CMDB API


All product configuration items are accessible through the CMDB API. If one server relies on another server, the relationship between the two servers can also be established through the CMDB API.

Key points:
  1. Add CIs using the URL format: http://<servername>:<portnumber>/api/cmdb/ci/ (e.g. http://localhost:8080/api/cmdb/ci).
  2. Input is an XML string sent as POST attribute with key INPUT_DATA
  3. The operation name add should be sent as a POST attribute with key OPERATION_NAME
  4. The technician key should be sent as a POST attribute with key TECHNICIAN_KEY
  5. Product Names will be dynamically added if it's not already available in the app
  6. Technicians with asset addition rights can perform add operations on asset CIs (e.g. Workstations, Printers, etc.)
  7. SDAdmins can perform add operations on admin CIs (e.g. Business Service, Department, etc.)
  8. Newly added entries return the CI-ID and CI Name in the response
  9. Multiple CIs can be added using <record> </record> tags .
  10. All asset additional attributes can be added .
  11. Filters with relational operations can be used for updating assets.  
  12. The parameter Result Format - Optional specifies the return format (XML or JSON). If a result format is not specified, then API will return output in JSON format.
