Guides

Enabling Integrations

Integrations can be enabled at any point during your Hudu environment testing and/or during production. Integrations can be merged into your existing documentation based on set rules; providing the ability to start with integration setup, or easily connect them at a later date.
 
To enable the N-Able N-Sight integration:
 
  • Navigate to the Hudu admin area >> Integrations.
  • Select N-Able N-Sight from the list.

 

Obtaining the N-Able N-Sight RMM Information

  • Login to N-Sight RMM and navigate to Settings >> General Settings.
  • On the left-hand sidebar, click API.
  • From here, next to the API Token field, click Generate.

  • Copy the generated API token credentials into Hudu exactly.
  • To obtain the server name, enter a valid e-mail address into "Email API Token to"; this will provide you with the server name (and API token again). Click OK and wait for the e-mail.
  • Copy the server name into Hudu exactly.
  • Save the settings.

    Make sure to test the integration for a successful connection before continuing; do not continue on until you see a connection successful message display.

  • Start the sync. After inputting all settings and ensuring the connection was successful; start the sync to push initial data to Hudu from N-Sight RMM (this is required before moving on).

 

Matching Accounts

Before your accounts (and their corresponding data) from N-Sight RMM can be brought into Hudu, they must first be matched to companies that either already exists within your Hudu environment; OR to companies that you create now.
 

    Hudu recommends matching one company first, for testing purposes, to ensure that your information comes over correctly.

  • The first time your integration connection runs successfully, it will attempt to bring in companies from N-Sight RMM; these are then added to the Matched Companies List of that integration.
    • Navigate to the Hudu admin area >> Integrations >> and find N-Sight RMM from the list. Click into it.
    • It should now have a button that says Match Companies.
    • Go through the list of companies and either bulk create/match all OR decide to:
      • Match the company to an existing (already created) client in Hudu;
      • Create a matched client within Hudu from an N-Sight company;
      • Leave unmatched, company (and corresponding data) will not be created/brought into Hudu.
  • Once you have matched your companies/accounts, you must re-run the integration import to fill in all the data for the newly matched/created companies.

 

Primary Sync Location

Primary sync location(s) serve as the primary organization locations for your N-Sight information. These are the locations where asset information will be placed.
The N-Sight RMM integration requires you to designate four primary sync locations. These would be sites, servers, workstations, and mobile devices.

  • Navigate back to your Hudu admin area >> Integrations >> N-Sight RMM ((Edit Settings)).
  • Choose asset layouts (must be active asset layouts) from the list to designate the primary sync locations for each type.

    If you don't see/have not created any asset layouts yet, you’ll need to create these. Visit Asset layouts for additional information!

  • Save your settings and stop/start your integration sync again to reflect your changes.

 

FAQ

How often do integrations sync?

Answer: Native integrations will automatically re-sync (update) every 3 hours.
You can also use either the global or the card-specific re-sync features to refresh native integration syncs at any point.

Why is my integration taking a long time to finish?

Answer: If the N-Able N-Sight sync has been loading for a significant amount of time (it can take up to 10 minutes), follow the steps below:

    • Test the connection to ensure Hudu and N-Able N-Sight are communicating correctly.
    • Verify your N-Able N-Sight credentials.
    • Refresh the page (while a sync is actively running).
    • Stop the sync and restart the sync.
Accidentally deleted an integration card; how do I get this back?

Answer: It should appear on subsequent re-syncs. If it is still not appearing, ensure that it has not been archived; and still exists in your sort rules.

Notes: Active integrations sync automatically every 3 hours; manual re-syncs can be performed either within an integrations’ settings page or by clicking the top right re-sync button.
