Solved: Import Inventory from MAC devices via Jamf

craig_moore · ‎Mar 05, 2020

What is the recommended method to import MAC inventory into FNMS 2019 R2 where Jamf deployed?

I don't believe a Tier 1 adapter exists so was thinking to leverage Jamf to deploy FNMS agent and obtain MAC inventory from FNMS agent.

I believe Data Platform has a connector to Jamf but we do not have that tool so is not an option here.

Please advise

Thanks

Best thing to do is deploy the agent. You are correct that there is no adapter.

You could build an adapter however the issue is fundamentally mapping to the Flexera app taxonomy. The ongoing overhead will be painful to maintain.

You may get away with it if the breadth of apps coming across is quite thin.
