You can import data sources in bulk into vRealize Network Insight by using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager.

This capability is helpful when the same SNMP or other network configuration must be used for multiple switches. Common configurations and variable parameters such as IP address must be imported in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager and provisioned in vRealize Network Insight.

You can also import data sources when you import a vRealize Network Insight instance.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have an existing vRealize Network Insight instance.

Procedure

  1. From a vRealize Network Insight environment card, right click on the vertical ellipses and select Add Data Sources > Bulk.
  2. Select CSV or JSON format to import the data sources in a defined report format.
  3. Click SELECT File, select the file, and then click Next.
  4. Click Submit Request.
    You can view requests on the Request page.
