API, Read/Write through Web

avatar

Hello,

we are planing to fill the RDM database with external data from our remote monioring/management (cloud).

Simple example:

  • RMM has client-data, like:
    • Client-Name: CT00200
    • Last-User: Mickey Mouse
    • Last-Logon: 2020-09-10 09:30
  • RMM "connects" to RDM and creates or updates data



Is there a way to achieve this goal and how?
Do you have some documents, we may read through for the start?
Does RDM have a external usable API?
Any best practices?


Our maingoal is to automate further things, like storing automatically changed passwords (encrypted) and further more.

Hello,

RDM does not have an external API per se, but it has a Powershell Module containing CmdLets that could help a lot in term of scripting changes on the data source.
However, the Powershell module canot be installed without RDM, and it also requires an active connection with the data source.
Our Powershell scripting help page : https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/powershell_cmdlets.html
You can list all available cmdLets using : Get-Command -Module RemoteDesktopManager.PowerShellModule

Here's a quick (and basic) example of what could be achieved : https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/pssamples_groupfoldercsv.html

Another approach would be to use synchronizers, assuming that your RMM has the ability to export data (CSV for instance), I suggest you take a look into this and see if it enables you to achieve your goal... (sadly, no online help is available at the moment for CSV Synchronizer) This entry type can be found in the Synchronizer Section when adding an entry.
