This integration provides three ways for Confluence users, who are creating IT infrastructure documentation, to link or insert Device42 asset data directly into their Confluence articles and documentation:
- Embed an inline link – Confluence authors can easily insert hyperlinks to specific objects within Device42. When accessed, the links open a new browser window that displays device information contained in Device42.
- Embed device details – Confluence authors can also insert details of a specific Device42 object directly into their Confluence article. These details can include device ID, name, hardware model, asset tag, and other details.
- Embed a table of devices – Using Device42's filtering criteria, Confluence authors can embed a table of data for multiple Device42 objects that meet the author's criteria.
For IT teams documenting processes, infrastructure procedures, or other IT-related materials, the Device42-Confluence integration makes creating IT-related articles within Confluence faster, easier, more detailed, and also more effective. Device42's auto-discovery scheduling feature also ensures that linked device information within Confluence articles is accurate and up-to-date.
"This latest integration tool allows Device42 users to leverage their software investments and help to ensure that device information contained in IT process and infrastructure documentation is accurate and up-to-date," stated Raj Jalan, CEO of Device42, Inc. "Device42 remains committed to providing data center management software that delivers exceptional capabilities at a low cost, while providing unlimited integration possibilities and new ways of leveraging legacy IT investments."
