Troubleshooting

note

Initial data collection can take several hours for large estates.

Authentication Fails or Integration Shows Red Status

  • Verify the Jamf URL, Username, and Password values.
  • Confirm that the Jamf user has read permissions for computers, mobile devices, users, and groups.
  • Re-enter the credentials by editing the integration in Cloudaware.

Devices or Users Are Missing

  • Allow the initial discovery cycle to complete.
  • Confirm that the Jamf user can read the missing device, user, or group records in Jamf.
  • In CMDB Navigator, verify that you are viewing the JAMF section and related resources.
