2.6.8 Registering device information by using the API

You can register device information in JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 from an external system.

An external system makes devices its management targets by using the API provided by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2. This allows JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 to collect device information from the external system.

The control of devices by using the API is referred to as API control. Devices managed through the API, on the other hand, are referred to as the API-controlled devices.

For example, by retrieving information regarding purchased devices from a procurement system and incorporating it into JP1/IT Desktop Management 2, you can create an asset ledger without an agent or summarize information linked to purchased devices.

Furthermore, by registering information regarding operational technology devices (hereafter, OT devices) in JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 from the external system managing the OT devices, you can create an asset ledger for OT devices and check for the existence of OT devices without the need to install agents.
