Creating an extended integration for Jamf mobile assets

  • November 10, 2024 13:08
  • Updated

Let Oomnitza be your single source of truth!

The Jamf mobile asset load fetches all Jamf mobile devices. For information on the API used in the integration, see Jamf Developer Documentation: Mobile devices. 

You'll get visibility of your Apple mobile devices as data from Jamf is automatically transformed into consumable information and actionable insights.

Connect Oomnitza and Jamf Mobile in minutes

Get the information and insights that you need to reduce costs and the time that you spend on administration tasks such as:

  • Configurable dashboards and list views of key information about Apple mobile devices
  • Configurable reports to share information about Apple mobile devices with your colleagues and management

Important
OAuth 2.0 authentication is supported for the Classic API in Jamf Pro 10.35.0 or later versions. 
For more information, see small_blue_link.svg Classic API Authentication Changes.

  1. Follow the steps in Adding global settings.
  2. In the Key field, input Jamf.Domain
  3. In the Value field, enter the full URL of your Jamf Pro instance, such as https://<instance_name>.jamfcloud.com
