Importing asset profiles
You can import asset profile information.
Before you begin
The imported file must be a CSV file in the following format:
ip,name,weight,description
Where:
- IP - Specifies any valid IP address in the dotted decimal format. For example: 192.168.5.34.
- Name - Specifies the name of this asset up to 255 characters in length. Commas are not valid in this field and invalidate the import process. For example: WebServer01 is correct.
- Weight - Specifies a number from 0 to 10, which indicates the importance of this asset on your network. A value of 0 denotes low importance and 10 is very high.
- Description - Specifies a textual description for this asset up to 255 characters in length. This value is optional.
For example, the following entries might be included in a CSV file:
-
192.168.5.34,WebServer01,5,Main Production Web Server
-
192.168.5.35,MailServ01,0,
The import process merges the imported asset profiles with the asset profile information you have currently stored in the system.
