i-doit Data Source

i-doit is a CMDB conforming to ITIL best practices. This data source allows connecting to an i-doit server for importing assets and links into Txture.

Txture uses the JSON-RPC api to communicate with the i-doit server. Please follow the configuration instructions provided by i-doit if the API is not configured/installed yet.

Connection configuration​

The i-doit datasource requires the following configuration:

  • Server URL - The URL of your i-doit instance (must be reachable from the Txture server)
  • Username - Username of a user with read permissions
  • Password - Password for the user
  • API-Key - The API key for the JSON-RPC API (can be found/configured within i-doit at Administration → Interfaces / external data → JSON-RPC API)
  • Request limit - Determines how many requests are batched into a single HTTP request (this drastically reduces the number of requests needed but increases the memory requirements on your i-doit server)

Example configuration​

The following example shows the configuration to the official i-doit demo server (note that API-key may have changed):

Importer capabilities​

The importer supports importing assets, links, and properties from i-doit's object structure. The usual filtering and dynamic columns tools of Txture's importing infrastructure can be used normally.

Creating importers​

After configuring the data source, you can create auto-configured importers to bring data from i-doit into Txture.
