Import Server Definitions

When importing server definitions, make sure the text file has a .CSV file extension. As part of the import, you can bulk edit the server definitions, for example, to assign a SNMP profile.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Data Monitoring, Servers in the Show Me menu.
3. (Optional) Choose the domain into which you want to import servers.
4. Scroll to the Server List and click the blue gear menu () to select Import from File.

   Import Server Definitions opens.

5. Review the information about the CSV file format and if necessary, copy and paste the example into your CSV file.
6. Click Browse to select the CSV file, and click Next.

   Save Import Server Definitions opens.

7. Review the list of imported server definitions and, if necessary, make any changes, and click OK.
8. Resolve any issues with the definitions you imported from the CSV file and the existing server definitions in the management console.

   Save Imported Server Definitions highlights any conflicting server definitions.

9. Edit the highlighted server definitions to resolve any issues and click OK.

   Yellow

   Indicates the specified monitoring device does not exist or the server has an invalid IP address. The management console lets you proceed with the import, but before you proceed, you should resolve these types of issues.

   Red

   Indicates the server IP address is a duplicate. To proceed with the import, click to delete any duplicate IP addresses.

10. Click the link to synchronize monitoring devices with the current client network, server subnet, and application definitions on the management console.

    Monitoring devices temporarily stop monitoring application performance during synchronization. To minimize interruptions to monitoring, complete all of your changes before synchronizing monitoring devices.
