<![CDATA[Import list of servers]]>Hello all,

I'm currently in the process of migrating from another monitoring solution and wanted to know if there was an easy way to import a list of names/ip addresses into netxms.  Two caveats here: 1. The servers will not have the agent installed initially (network only monitoring for now) and 2. I'd like to be able to associate an ipv4 and ipv6 ip address to the node when it's imported. 

Thanks for the assistance.

is it possible to add a feature that allows setting of proxy address on import

currently its is

Node Name  |Address  |Container to bind to

but it would be nice if it could be as follows

Node Name | Address  | Agent Proxy  |  ICMP Proxy |  SNMP Proxy | SSH Proxy |  Container to bind to

Thanks,

Gary

(internally, code could have chosen a non-container object to attempt to bind a node to)

I fixed it and released a newer version:
https://github.com/tomaskir/NetXMS-csv-importer/releases

Please try and let me know if it works now.

Error message - "Incompatible operation".

It imports about 150 servers out of a list of about 600, then I get this message. 

Update:  Did a little troubleshooting.  Once I get past about 180 or so entires in the nodes table, I only seem to be able to import servers one at a time using the tool.  Otherwise it throws the above exception.

Thank you very much.

https://github.com/tomaskir/NetXMS-csv-importer

It will take any address for a node (ipv4, ipv6 or a hostname), but will not add multiple addresses to a single node.
The reason for this is that NetXMS uses one primary address to communicate with the node, and then discovers all of the node's IP addresses over an Agent (be that NetXMS or SNMP Agent).

Adding multiple IP addresses to a dynamic interface in NetXMS is not possible manually.
I dont want to create multiple interfaces to assign multiple addresses to a node, because you would have to delete them manually later on.

The right solution to having all information (which includes all IP addresses) of a node is to have an Agent.
So lets not code work-arounds, and focus on solving it properly, by having an Agent present on the server node 🙂

Server names/IP addresses might be considered a bit touchy.  Would you be able to take an input using a file formatted like your example?

Thanks a ton.

Actually, if you want to, you can provide me with a sample csv file of you nodes, and I can write the Java importer into NetXMS for you.
(its that easy, about 200 lines of Java code)

Example csv:

Node name, IPv4 address, IPv6 address, Container to bind to
Example server 1, 1.1.1.1, 1::1, Servers
Example server 2, 2.2.2.2, , Other container
