bulk-import attribute for groups

marthadelgado · 2015-08-25T15:56:29.000Z

Hello Everyone,

I recently started to use bulk-import to add a bunch of devices to our inventory and I find this very convenient. I have so far figure out most of the attributes to use in the .cvs file. However, I don’t know how to make the “groups” attribute to work.

My main point is that I want to add my devices and point out what groups it belongs in the .cvs file that I use to transfer to Spiceworks. That way it adds it to Spiceworks without the need for me to check every device and select for each device the Groups that it belongs to.

I have tried to put the attribute as “groups” and “c_groups”, but none of them work.

Thank you for your time and concerned.

Hey Martha,

Are you trying to specify the device type or specify inventory groups in which the devices will live?

If you’re just trying to specify the device type, you’ll need a column labeled “device_type.” The valid device types are:

Computer
HttpDevice
Ilo
MobileDevice
NetworkPrinter
SnmpDevice
Unknown
VoipDevice

If you’re trying to specify the inventory groups in which the devices will live, I don’t believe that’s currently an option. Instead, you’ll need to add them to groups manually.

Thank you, Jon.

Yes, I’m trying to specify the inventory groups in which the devices will live.
