Has there been any thought given to connecting to third party data sources. ie can I get the warranty info for pc xyz and model abc?

Also, is there a way to get the product key from the PID for MS app’s

It isn’t too difficult to feed data from other sources into Paglo. You can do it via the Paglo API or by simply entering certain queries into the search box.

Let’s say that you had the warranty information and computer in a text file, how might you get it into Paglo?

1. Create a custom field to hold the warranty information. In the inventory application you can create custom fields, such as the warranty expiry date.

2. Use search and replace to convert the computer names and warranty information into a PQL query like:

merge into / values {network[true] => {device[system/dns_name = ‘DNS name goes here’] => {custom[true] => {warranty_expiry[true] => ‘Expiry date goes here’}}}}

3. Repeat this for each device. Using the API you can feed these queries directly into Paglo, or you can paste them into the search box.

4. Now you can see the warranty information in the custom fields section of each computer.
