Importing Entities

Import entities from the Administration > Import/Export page.

Prerequisites

Before importing an alert that includes an alert receiver, you must create an alert receiver with the same name. Otherwise, the import fails.

Procedure

  1. From the Available Entities list, click an entity or hold the shift key while clicking to highlight more than one entity. Use the arrow buttons to select the entity or to select multiple entities.
    The selected entities appear in the Selected Entities list.
  2. Click Display Info to display the information for selected entities in XML format in the lower text area.
  3. Click Import to import the selected entities onto the appliance.
    Caution: If the number of devices to be exported is more than 60,000, the import operation might fail.

Result

The imported entity is now listed under Management > Suites, where you can access and manage its contents.
