How It Works?
Upload an Excel File:
Use the “Select Excel File” button on the left to upload a .xlsx or .xls file.
Your file should include the following columns:
- Description (required) – A short description of the source
- Host (required) – Host IP address (must be a valid IP format)
- Group (optional) – Source group
- Type (required) – Source type (e.g., syslog)
- Vendor (required) – Vendor name
- Product (required) – Product name
- Version (optional) – Version of the product
- Status (optional) – Either enabled or disabled
Import Guide and Rules:
The Import Guide panel provides essential rules:
- Use exact vendor/product names as defined in the system
- Avoid special characters in the description field
- The Host field must contain IP addresses only
- Currently, only syslog source types are supported for import
- The column order in the Excel file does not matter
Vendor/Product Selector:
If you’re unsure about the exact vendor or product names, you can use the Vendor/Product Selector to look them up before preparing your Excel file.
Status Column Explanation:
- enabled → The source will be active after import
- disabled → The source will be inactive after import (default)
- If left empty, the status defaults to disabled
- Case-insensitive: ENABLED, enabled, Enabled, etc., all work
Import Workflow:
- Click Select Excel File to upload your source list
- Once the file is validated, click Start Import to proceed
This feature enables you to import dozens of sources in seconds—no need for repetitive manual input!
