Asset profile data in CSV format

An asset profile is a collection of information about a specific asset. The profile includes information about the services that are running on the asset and any identity information that is known. You can import asset profile data in CSV format.

When you import asset profile data in CSV format, the file must be in the following format:

ip,name,weight,description

The following table describes the parameters that you must configure.

Table 1. Asset profile import CSV format parameters

Parameter

Description
IP Specifies any valid IP address in the dot decimal format; for example, 192.168.5.34.
Name Specifies the name of the asset up to 255 characters in length. Commas are not valid in this field because they invalidate the import process; for example, WebServer01.
Weight Specifies a number 0 - 10, which indicates the importance of the asset on your network. A value of 0 denotes low importance, while 10 denotes a high importance.
Description Specifies a textual description for this asset up to 255 characters in length. This value is optional.

The following entries can be included in a CSV file:

  • 192.168.5.34,WebServer01,5,Main Production Web Server
  • 192.168.5.35,MailServ01,0,

The CSV import process merges any asset profile information that is stored in your QRadar system.
