Adding devices manually using the API

Adding devices manually using the API

Submit inventory information using the API
Sample Perl script
Valid XML schema for Windows
Example using the XML schema for Windows devices
Valid XML schema for Linux and Mac devices
Upload an XML file using the Administrator Console

You can add devices to the appliance manually by creating an XML file and uploading that file to the appliance using the API (application programming interface). Adding devices in this way is useful for devices that might not be able to run the KACE Agent for security reasons, and devices that cannot connect to the LAN (Local Area Network) to report inventory.

The XML file you create can be modeled on the sample script in this section.

Devices that are added to inventory through the API do not count toward the license limit. See View product licensing information.

Application inventory that is uploaded through the API is displayed on the Software page, but it is not displayed on the Software Catalog page. See:

•
Managing applications on the Software page
•
Managing Software Catalog inventory
* 
NOTE: The inventory API supports HTTP and HTTPS communications, depending on your appliance configuration. To upload inventory information, use the following URL: http://appliance_hostname/service/wsapi.php, where appliance_hostname is the host name of your appliance.
Submit inventory information using the API

To submit inventory using the API, you first need to generate an XML file that contains the inventory information.

For examples, see:

•
Valid XML schema for Windows
•
Example using the XML schema for Windows devices
•
Valid XML schema for Linux and Mac devices

After you generate an XML file with the expected content, you can submit inventory using the API.

1.
(Required) Request a session key:
Submit keyreq=true in the body of the request to get a session string in response.
2.
(Required) Construct the authentication token:
a.
Construct the auth string as:
session_string + '|' + MD5 of API password
b.
Run MD5 on the auth string.
3.
(Required for new devices) Request a device UUID:
Submit req=newuuid&key=$auth in the body of the request to get a UUID in response.
4.
(Required) Submit inventory XML data:

Submit req=loadxml&key=$auth&KUID=$uuid&version=6.0 in the GET line and inventory XML in the body of the request.

See Sample Perl script.

Sample Perl script

You can use Perl scripts to upload XML files with device inventory information to the appliance.

The following is a sample Perl script that uploads a user-created XML file to the appliance. For information about using this script, contact Quest Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support.

Upload an XML file using the Administrator Console

You can upload an XML file that contains device inventory information using the Administrator Console. This type of information is referred to as manual inventory information.

The KACE Agent is installed on the device that is having its inventory information added.

You create the XML file on the device to be inventoried, then move to the appliance to upload the file.

Manual inventory information appears on the Software page but it does not appear on the Software Catalog page. See:

•
Managing applications on the Software page
•
Managing Software Catalog inventory
1.
Generate an XML file that contains the information.
a.
On a device where the KACE Agent is installed, open a command prompt or terminal window.
b.
Go to the Quest KACE installation directory.
For example:
▪
Windows 32-bit systems: C:\Program Files\Quest\KACE
▪
Windows 64-bit systems: C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\KACE
▪
Mac OS X systems: /Library/Application Support/Quest/KACE/bin
▪
Linux systems: /opt/quest/kace/bin
c.
Enter the following command:
KInventory -machine -output filename

Where filename is the path to the XML file you want to create. If the path contains spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotation marks.

The Agent collects the inventory data and generates the XML file.

2.
On the appliance Administrator Console, go to the Devices list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Devices.
3.
Select Choose Action > New > Manual Device to display the Device Detail page.
4.
Under Import Device, click Browse.
5.
Select the file, then click Open or Choose.
6.
Click Save.

The device's information is added to inventory. If you uploaded an XML file, the appliance ignores all other information on the page and uses the XML file for inventory information.

Upload an XML file using the Administrator Console

You can add devices to the appliance manually by creating an XML file and uploading that file to the appliance using the API (application programming interface). Adding devices in this way is useful for devices that might not be able to run the KACE Agent for security reasons, and devices that cannot connect to the LAN (Local Area Network) to report inventory.

The XML file you create can be modeled on the sample script in this section.

Devices that are added to inventory through the API do not count toward the license limit. See View product licensing information.

Application inventory that is uploaded through the API is displayed on the Software page, but it is not displayed on the Software Catalog page. See:

•
Managing applications on the Software page
•
Managing Software Catalog inventory
* 
NOTE: The inventory API supports HTTP and HTTPS communications, depending on your appliance configuration. To upload inventory information, use the following URL: http://appliance_hostname/service/wsapi.php, where appliance_hostname is the host name of your appliance.
Submit inventory information using the API

To submit inventory using the API, you first need to generate an XML file that contains the inventory information.

For examples, see:

•
Valid XML schema for Windows
•
Example using the XML schema for Windows devices
•
Valid XML schema for Linux and Mac devices

After you generate an XML file with the expected content, you can submit inventory using the API.

1.
(Required) Request a session key:
Submit keyreq=true in the body of the request to get a session string in response.
2.
(Required) Construct the authentication token:
a.
Construct the auth string as:
session_string + '|' + MD5 of API password
b.
Run MD5 on the auth string.
3.
(Required for new devices) Request a device UUID:
Submit req=newuuid&key=$auth in the body of the request to get a UUID in response.
4.
(Required) Submit inventory XML data:

Submit req=loadxml&key=$auth&KUID=$uuid&version=6.0 in the GET line and inventory XML in the body of the request.

See Sample Perl script.

Sample Perl script

You can use Perl scripts to upload XML files with device inventory information to the appliance.

The following is a sample Perl script that uploads a user-created XML file to the appliance. For information about using this script, contact Quest Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support.

Upload an XML file using the Administrator Console

You can upload an XML file that contains device inventory information using the Administrator Console. This type of information is referred to as manual inventory information.

The KACE Agent is installed on the device that is having its inventory information added.

You create the XML file on the device to be inventoried, then move to the appliance to upload the file.

Manual inventory information appears on the Software page but it does not appear on the Software Catalog page. See:

•
Managing applications on the Software page
•
Managing Software Catalog inventory
1.
Generate an XML file that contains the information.
a.
On a device where the KACE Agent is installed, open a command prompt or terminal window.
b.
Go to the Quest KACE installation directory.
For example:
▪
Windows 32-bit systems: C:\Program Files\Quest\KACE
▪
Windows 64-bit systems: C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\KACE
▪
Mac OS X systems: /Library/Application Support/Quest/KACE/bin
▪
Linux systems: /opt/quest/kace/bin
c.
Enter the following command:
KInventory -machine -output filename

Where filename is the path to the XML file you want to create. If the path contains spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotation marks.

The Agent collects the inventory data and generates the XML file.

2.
On the appliance Administrator Console, go to the Devices list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Devices.
3.
Select Choose Action > New > Manual Device to display the Device Detail page.
4.
Under Import Device, click Browse.
5.
Select the file, then click Open or Choose.
6.
Click Save.

The device's information is added to inventory. If you uploaded an XML file, the appliance ignores all other information on the page and uses the XML file for inventory information.

You can add devices to the appliance manually by creating an XML file and uploading that file to the appliance using the API (application programming interface). Adding devices in this way is useful for devices that might not be able to run the KACE Agent for security reasons, and devices that cannot connect to the LAN (Local Area Network) to report inventory.

The XML file you create can be modeled on the sample script in this section.

Devices that are added to inventory through the API do not count toward the license limit. See View product licensing information.

Application inventory that is uploaded through the API is displayed on the Software page, but it is not displayed on the Software Catalog page. See:

•
Managing applications on the Software page
•
Managing Software Catalog inventory
* 
NOTE: The inventory API supports HTTP and HTTPS communications, depending on your appliance configuration. To upload inventory information, use the following URL: http://appliance_hostname/service/wsapi.php, where appliance_hostname is the host name of your appliance.
Submit inventory information using the API

To submit inventory using the API, you first need to generate an XML file that contains the inventory information.

For examples, see:

•
Valid XML schema for Windows
•
Example using the XML schema for Windows devices
•
Valid XML schema for Linux and Mac devices

After you generate an XML file with the expected content, you can submit inventory using the API.

1.
(Required) Request a session key:
Submit keyreq=true in the body of the request to get a session string in response.
2.
(Required) Construct the authentication token:
a.
Construct the auth string as:
session_string + '|' + MD5 of API password
b.
Run MD5 on the auth string.
3.
(Required for new devices) Request a device UUID:
Submit req=newuuid&key=$auth in the body of the request to get a UUID in response.
4.
(Required) Submit inventory XML data:

Submit req=loadxml&key=$auth&KUID=$uuid&version=6.0 in the GET line and inventory XML in the body of the request.

See Sample Perl script.

Sample Perl script

You can use Perl scripts to upload XML files with device inventory information to the appliance.

The following is a sample Perl script that uploads a user-created XML file to the appliance. For information about using this script, contact Quest Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support.

Upload an XML file using the Administrator Console

You can upload an XML file that contains device inventory information using the Administrator Console. This type of information is referred to as manual inventory information.

The KACE Agent is installed on the device that is having its inventory information added.

You create the XML file on the device to be inventoried, then move to the appliance to upload the file.

Manual inventory information appears on the Software page but it does not appear on the Software Catalog page. See:

•
Managing applications on the Software page
•
Managing Software Catalog inventory
1.
Generate an XML file that contains the information.
a.
On a device where the KACE Agent is installed, open a command prompt or terminal window.
b.
Go to the Quest KACE installation directory.
For example:
▪
Windows 32-bit systems: C:\Program Files\Quest\KACE
▪
Windows 64-bit systems: C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\KACE
▪
Mac OS X systems: /Library/Application Support/Quest/KACE/bin
▪
Linux systems: /opt/quest/kace/bin
c.
Enter the following command:
KInventory -machine -output filename

Where filename is the path to the XML file you want to create. If the path contains spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotation marks.

The Agent collects the inventory data and generates the XML file.

2.
On the appliance Administrator Console, go to the Devices list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Devices.
3.
Select Choose Action > New > Manual Device to display the Device Detail page.
4.
Under Import Device, click Browse.
5.
Select the file, then click Open or Choose.
6.
Click Save.

The device's information is added to inventory. If you uploaded an XML file, the appliance ignores all other information on the page and uses the XML file for inventory information.
