Great new feature for this release - Integrations. We initially ship with an NMIS integration, but going forward this can be expanded to integrate with any third party system to import, export and sync devices.

NOTE - If you are currently using the NMIS Integration feature, any entries for this will be removed. DON'T PANIC! We are providing a default integration that should seamlessly take over and 'just work'. You should review the integration once you have upgraded and if necessary, configure to your liking.

Integrations are very configurable. Some might say too configurable. For this reason, when you create a new Integration, most of the fields are hidden behind the Advanced button. For more info, see the Integrations page.

NOTE - Redhat 8 users will need to edit the Integration and add credentials. Integrations will not work locally for Redhat 8 at this time (without credentials). We are aiming to address this ASAP. Add credentials, problem solved. Apologies for the inconvenience.
