Help with updating Notepad under Computers using PowerShell

evobe · 2023-10-22 16:23:24

So I'm having what seems to be a common issue. Updating entries in other databases connected to the main.
Read this - Use:

curl -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H "Session-Token xxxx" \
-H "App-Token xxxx" \
-d '{"input": {"itemtype": "Problem", "items_id": ## problem_id##, "content": "my note content"}}' \
'http://path/to/glpi/apirest.php/Notepad/'

I changed the "itemtype" to computer, added the correct computer ID and now I get a return that the note is incrementing but no note in the associated computer item.

 id message
 -- -------
7745

Can someone help with the correct syntax? Is something missing?

to update any field using API you should use PUT methode instead of POST method.

It sounds like they are trying to add a new note rather than update an existing one since they dont have an ID in the URL.

Hi,
Exactly, I wanted to update a note - but I can understand because it does say 'update' Anyway, it's solved!
The return message I was getting back was actually correct, I just had to wait for the system to update.

Invoke-RestMethod -uri "$PathtoGlpi/Notepad/" -Method Post -headers $sessionheaders -Body $jsonupdate

json body - not sure if the user is required or not since when checking the profile I'm the one logged in

$updaterequest = @{input=@{
    'itemtype'="Computer"; 'items_id'="$($id)"; 'content' = "now this is a note added to GLPI from PS by me"; 'users_id' = "xxxx"
}
}

It isn't. In fact, it has no effect since "users_id" is always replaced with the current user ID.
