Hi Andy, There are various NBIs available in DataMiner but for what you describe, you will probably be best served with the Web Services APIs (SOAP XML, XML-RPC). Note that all elements managed by DataMiner have their own set of metrics, which are retrieved from the managed product itself via its own API (so the kind of metrics available there are defined by the third-party product provider).  The number of metrics among those that will be of interest to you (you are looking for asset information, probably in the context of inventory management) will probably be limited.  But still, you will find for most products things like a serial number, firmware version, etc.  The good thing about it is that this is information read from the actual underlying product (i.e. not entered by humans, so no risk of mistakes). In addition to this set of metrics, each managed element in DataMiner also has a set of common metrics, i.e. metrics that are available for all elements. They are called GENERAL PARAMETERS. Not that much in there will relate to what you are looking for probably (i.e. asset/inventory related), although in there you will find information related to connectivity (DCF - DataMiner Connectivity Framework) for example.  And sometimes that's of interest in an inventory/asset management context. Then each managed element in DataMiner also has a set of so-called properties. There are both pre-defined properties (i.e. GENERAL PROPERTIES) and fully user-definable properties (i.e. CUSTOM PROPERTIES). These will typically contain information such as the location of an asset, rack position, an asset ID, etc.  But note that this also largely depends on how the DataMiner System is being used and set up (i.e. again, these are user-definable properties, so people can choose if they use those and for what purpose). Last but not least, if you are looking into asset management of some kind, I would really recommend to look into the DataMiner IDP solution.  This is a great solution that will give you everything out of the box, and much more.  And it would provide a standardized way for asset management (and a lot more actually), and that would be a really solid foundation for external systems to build upon via the APIs referenced above. Without IDP, as mentioned, you would really have to look into how that specific DataMiner System is being leveraged from an asset management perspective, and how it was set up.
