Creating an extended integration for Jamf Apple assets and software

Let Oomnitza be your single source of truth!

The Jamf asset and software load fetches all Jamf computers. If you enable the software option for this integration, you will also be able to retrieve the software name and version. For information on the API used in the integration, see Jamf Developer Documentation: Computers. 

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