Overview
This node integrates with the IT Glue API to perform bulk updates on configurations. It allows users to update multiple configuration records in a single operation by specifying an array of configuration updates. This is particularly useful for IT asset management scenarios where administrators need to modify details such as asset tags, hostnames, IP addresses, or status information across many configurations efficiently.
Practical examples include:
- Updating the status and location of multiple devices after an office move.
- Changing contact assignments or notes for a batch of configurations following organizational changes.
- Correcting or adding missing serial numbers or MAC addresses in bulk.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Updates | A collection of configuration updates to apply. Each update includes: |
| - Configuration ID (required): The unique identifier of the configuration to update. | |
| - Asset Tag: The asset tag associated with the configuration. | |
| - Configuration Status ID: Numeric ID representing the new status of the configuration. | |
| - Contact ID: Numeric ID of the contact linked to the configuration. | |
| - Hostname: The hostname assigned to the configuration. | |
| - Location ID: Numeric ID indicating the physical or logical location. | |
| - MAC Address: The MAC address of the device/configuration. | |
| - Name: New name for the configuration. | |
| - Notes: Additional descriptive notes about the configuration. | |
| - Primary IP: The primary IP address assigned. | |
| - Serial Number: The serial number of the configuration/device. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the bulk update operation. Typically, this will include confirmation of updated configurations, possibly with their updated fields or status. The exact structure depends on the IT Glue API response but generally contains success indicators and any relevant metadata about the updated configurations.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the IT Glue API.
- The node uses the IT Glue REST API endpoints to perform bulk updates.
- Proper permissions on the IT Glue account are necessary to update configuration records.
- Network connectivity to the IT Glue service is required.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Configuration ID: Each update must specify a valid configuration ID. Errors occur if IDs are missing or incorrect.
- API authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Invalid field values: Some fields like numeric IDs must be valid and correspond to existing entities in IT Glue; otherwise, the API may reject the update.
- Partial failures: If some updates fail while others succeed, check the error messages returned for each failed item to correct input data.
- Rate limiting or network issues: Bulk operations might hit API rate limits; retry with backoff or reduce batch size if needed.
