  • 1.  Web Service - Create Device Groups

    Greetings,

    I am conducting tests with the intention of creating device groups in the future using the "Create Device Group" Web Service; however, I am facing challenges. I am attempting to create them based on a custom attribute named "Store" in the devices, where the value of this attribute is "019."

    After providing the Token and Billing ID, I configured the JSON as follows:

    {
         "groupName" : "Store 019",
         "groupDescription" : "Something here...",
         "lastReported" : "180",
         "conditions" : [
     {
         "category" : "Custom Attributes",
         "attribute" : "Store",
         "criteria" : "Equal To",
         "value1" : "019"
     }
    

    Upon execution, no errors occur, and the group is not created; nothing happens. Could you assist me in identifying where the issue might be?

    Thank you very much!

    Sincerely,

    Erick

    Hi Erick

    There are some assumptions here that I want to validate. 

    • The custom attribute field on devices already exists
    • The field format accepts the type of data you want to enter
    • You have already been able to populate several devices with such data. 

    Can you please confirm that these assumptions are correct? 

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Eamonn,

    Responding to your questions:

    • Yes, it already exists on devices.
    • Yes, I can manually add this data.
    • Yes, it's possible to add these attributes manually to several devices.

    However, when I attempt to use the API for that purpose, nothing happens. I've spent some time reading and testing, but I can't make it work.

    Hi Erick

    Thanks for coming back. Based on the information you have given it seems is it is not working as designed. 

    Please raise a Support ticket for investigation so that the team can escalate to Development/Engineering if appropriate. 

    Please include this information. '

    Best regards
