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.
