IT Glue | Flexible Asset Troubleshooting

Updated over a week ago

Overview πŸ’₯

Liongard’s IT Glue integration allows Inspector data to sync automatically into Flexible Assets for documentation and visibility. In some cases, Flexible Assets may not sync correctly, appear incomplete, or stop updating altogether.

This article explains:

  • Common causes of Flexible Asset sync issues

  • How to identify and resolve mapping problems

  • When to repair or remove mappings

  • When to contact Liongard Support


Common Symptoms πŸ€’

You may be experiencing a Flexible Asset issue if:

  • Flexible Assets are not appearing in IT Glue after an Inspector run

  • Assets appear partially populated or outdated

  • Only one Environment is affected

  • Errors appear in the Flexible Asset mapping screen


Why Does This Happen? πŸ€”

Flexible Asset sync issues typically occur due to one or more of the following reasons:

Cause

Description

Mapping corruption

Flexible Asset mappings can become misaligned after integration changes

Disabled Environment toggle

The Environment is not enabled for Flexible Asset syncing

Inspector failure

The Inspector did not complete successfully

API or permission errors

IT Glue API access issues prevent asset creation or updates

Integration changes

Recent updates to IT Glue or Liongard settings


Steps To Resolve πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

Step 1: Verify Flexible Asset Mappings

  1. Navigate to Admin β†’ Integrations β†’ IT Glue β†’ Flexible Assets

  2. Locate the Flexible Asset type you are troubleshooting

  3. Check for error indicators on the mapping

If you see an error on the mapping, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Repair the Mapping

From the Flexible Assets screen:

  1. Click the Troubleshooting dropdown,

  2. Select Repair Mappings or Force Repair Mappings,

After the repair completes, re-run the affected Inspector,

Step 3: Remove and Recreate the Mapping

If repairing the mapping does not resolve the issue:

  1. On Flexible Assets page β†’ Liongard Flexible Asset Types.

  2. Click Remove Mapping.

  3. Re-run the Inspector.

⚠️ Removing a mapping does not delete existing data in IT Glue but resets how future data is synced.

Step 4: Verify Environment-Level Settings

If the issue only affects one Environment:

  1. Open the Environments tab within the Flexible Assets screen

  2. Confirm the toggle for "Flexible Asset Auto-Updating" is enabled for the affected Environment.

  3. Re-run the Inspector again after making changes to verify the status.

Step 5: Check Inspector Health

Ensure the Inspector responsible for the data:

  • Completes successfully.

  • Does not show any failures.

If the Inspector fails, resolve that issue first before troubleshooting Flexible Assets further.


Additional Validation Checklist πŸ“

Check

Action

IT Glue API credentials

Verify credentials are valid and unchanged

Organization mapping

Confirm the correct IT Glue organization is mapped

Recent integration changes

Review any recent updates or repairs
