Importing or Exporting a Large Number of Monitors Using a Json or CSV Text File

Note: Only available in the ITmanager.net web client, under Add Services and Add Monitors you can Import/Export (options are at the bottom of the drop-downs).

1. Export – If you are inside a folder, export will only show things from inside that folder…you then can pick what from inside the folder to export. Additionally, when exporting, you have the option of maintaining a sub-folder structure, or flattening the exported list.
2. Import – if you are inside a folder, you are importing into that folder. After selecting a file (that you generated by doing an export), you can still pick what from that file to import

Documentation for Import/Export CSV file:

• HOSTNAME or URL to monitor
• TYPE of monitor: ping, http, windows, snmp,
• DISPLAYNAME: optional display name of the monitor
• AGENT: name of the Enterprise server to connect to, blank for monitor from Internet

If the TYPE=windows then the following parameters are required:

• AUTH name to use, from keychain either a name or login
• METRIC: CPU,Disk Space,Memory,Service

If the METRIC is Disk Space then the following:

• DRIVE:  C: or D:

If the METRIC is Service then the following:

• SERVICENAME: for example printspooler

Followed by:

• FAILURE: Value at which the monitor will cause a failure, for example 70 for 70% cpu, or 200 for 200ms ping.

Followed by repeating values for notifications:

• METHOD: one of either email,sms,ios,android
• USER:  email address username of the user to notify

For example a typical line in the CSV file would look like:
