Overview

This node operation creates a new Configuration Type in the IT Glue system. It is useful for users who want to programmatically add configuration types to their IT Glue account, which helps in organizing and categorizing configurations within their IT infrastructure. For example, a user can create a new configuration type named 'Server' or 'Network Device' to classify assets accordingly.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a new configuration type named 'Server' to categorize server assets.
2. Adding a custom configuration type for specialized equipment in an IT environment.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The unique identifier of the newly created configuration type.
• name - The name of the created configuration type as provided in the input.
• created_at - Timestamp indicating when the configuration type was created.
• updated_at - Timestamp indicating the last update time of the configuration type.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for IT Glue to authenticate and authorize API requests.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Name' property is provided and is not empty, as it is required to create a configuration type.
• Check API credentials and permissions if the node fails to authenticate with IT Glue.
• Verify network connectivity to IT Glue API endpoints to avoid request failures.
