Import Service Data Manually

You can import service data manually from a CSV or XML file. You should import a CSV or XML file in the format defined during the export process. You can create and work with a Service Template File using the export procedure to be sure that your data is formatted correctly.

The import process uses the following commands:

InsightUtil /importservice [/http|/https] /server <hostname> /port <port#> /format csv|xml /path <file_path> /key <key> /secret <secret>
InsightUtil

The command begins with the utility name, InsightUtil

/importservice [/http|/https]

Specifies that the import service uses http or https

/server <hostname>

Indicates the server host name

/port <port#>

Indicates the port number

/format csv|xml

Indicates the import file format: csv or xml

Important! When importing a CSV file, the first line (the header column line) must not be omitted, or the import process will fail. The column order of the CSV file must follow the format of an exported CSV file or template file, and cannot be changed.

/path <file_path>

Indicates the path and name for the import file

/key <key>

Indicates the unique CA Business Service Insight administrator key

/secret <secret>

Indicates the unique CA Business Service Insight administrator password
