Interact with IT Service Management and Asset Tracking Systems

Overview

This node interacts with the GLPI IT Service Management and Asset Tracking system, specifically to create a new Computer resource. It allows users to specify the category of the resource, provide fields such as name and comment, and include additional JSON fields. The node handles authentication via OAuth2 and sends a POST request to create the resource in GLPI. This is useful for automating asset management tasks, such as adding new computers to the inventory system.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically add new computers to GLPI when they are registered in another system.
  2. Create computer records with detailed metadata including comments and custom fields.

Properties

Name Meaning
Category The GLPI category to work with, e.g., IT Assets, Assistance, Administration, etc.
Fields The fields to include in the request, such as name, comment, and additional JSON fields.
Options Additional request options such as language and entity settings.

Output

JSON

  • json - The JSON response from GLPI representing the created Computer resource.

Dependencies

  • GLPI OAuth2 API credentials including URL, client ID, client secret, username, and password for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON in Additional Fields: The node expects valid JSON in the 'Additional Fields' input; malformed JSON will cause an error.
  • OAuth2 token request failed: Authentication issues with the provided credentials will prevent the node from obtaining an access token.
  • Operation not found error: If the specified operation or resource is incorrect or unsupported, the node will throw an error.
