SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Centralized device and endpoint inventory management is often fragmented across teams and tools. This skill provides a unified Inventory Manager to organize inventories, nodes, actions, and tags for Itential solutions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inventory: maintain named collections of devices with attributes and tags.
  • Node & Action management: define nodes, assign actions (IAG5 service calls), and control access via groups.
  • Use Case: model a lab or production environment, bulk-populate devices, and run IAG5-backed operations from workflows.

Quick Start

Create an inventory, populate nodes, and execute IAG5 actions by passing an inventory payload to GatewayManager.runService in your workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage device inventories and bulk populate nodes in IAG5?▼

IAG5 device inventory management involves creating named collections, bulk populating nodes with attributes, and assigning tags for grouping and access control to model lab or production environments centrally.

How do I execute actions against inventory devices using Itential?▼

You execute actions against inventory devices by defining nodes and assigning IAG5 service calls to them. Actions are routed to IAG services via cluster_id, with access controlled through assigned groups and tags.

What is the best way to organize device inventories across fragmented teams?▼

A unified Inventory Manager provides centralized organization for device inventories, nodes, actions, and tags across teams, replacing fragmented tool-based management with a single source of truth.

Can I control access to specific nodes and actions within an inventory?▼

Yes, access to nodes and actions within an inventory is controlled by assigning tags and groups, ensuring only authorized users execute IAG5 service calls against specific inventory devices.

How do I route IAG5 service calls from workflows using cluster_id?▼

Routing IAG5 service calls from workflows requires passing an inventory payload to GatewayManager.runService, where the action is routed to the correct IAG service via cluster_id with configured access controls.

Do I need an existing Itential environment to use the Inventory Manager?▼

An existing Itential environment with IAG5 services is required, as the Inventory Manager relies on GatewayManager.runService and cluster_id routing to execute actions against configured inventory devices.
