Using the API to Create a New Product Name
When a configuration manager registers a new product, the name of this product gets filled out automatically in the Name field when its brand, model and category are specified. The REST API for products now provides the same helpful feature.
When this API is used to create a new product, only the brand, model and category need to be specified. The API then uses these details to automatically generate a name for the product.
Here’s an example of a CURL command for creating a new product in the Xurrent CMDB:
curl -u “api-token:x” -X POST -H “X-4me-Account: wna-it” -d ‘{“brand”:”Dell”, “model”:”Precision M4400″, “category”:”computer/laptop_pc”}’ ‘https://api.4me.com/v1/products’
In Xurrent’s user interface the result will then look like this:


An AI SRE that knows your incidents
Most AI SREs are pattern matchers trained on public data. They know what a memory leak looks like in the abstract. They don't know that your payments-api has a flaky liveness probe everyone ignores, that the checkout team owns the retry policy, or that the last three "database incidents" were actually cache misconfigurations. That knowledge lives in your postmortems, your Slack channels, and the heads of two senior engineers.
