CloudScape Data Source
CloudScape is a landscape discovery tool that was recently acquired by Flexera. It can be used to discover infrastructure and therefore gives a useful baseline of components to be imported to Txture. Unfortunately, CloudScape does not offer any API and data must therefore be imported to Txture using CloudScape's export function.
Connection configuration
This data source uses file-based imports from CloudScape exports. You can upload CloudScape export files directly to Txture.
Preparation - Download reports from RISCNetworks Portal
After logging in to RISCNetworks, proceed to the available reports section:
Download the Database Summary, Server Inventory and Economics Report reports and extract the ZIP files.
Uploading data
Proceed to upload the following reports to a CloudScape Data Source in Txture:
- server_inventory.csv
- server_logical_disks.csv
- database_summary.csv
- economics.csv
