Importing and exporting geographic data

If necessary, you can manually import and export geographic data into KUMA. Geographic data is imported and exported in a CSV file. If the geographic data import is successful, the previously added data is overwritten and an audit event is generated in KUMA.

To import geographic data into KUMA:

1. Prepare a CSV file containing geographic data.

   Geographic data received from MaxMind and IP2Location must be converted to a format supported by KUMA.

2. In the KUMA web interface, open Settings → General.
3. In the Geographic data settings block, click the Import from file button and select a CSV file containing geographic data.

   Wait for the geographic data import to finish. The data import is interrupted if the page is refreshed.

The geographic data is uploaded to KUMA.

To export geographic data from KUMA:

1. In the KUMA web interface, open Settings → General.
2. In the Geographic data settings block, click the Export button.

Geographic data will be downloaded as a CSV file named geoip.csv (in UTF-8 encoding) based on the settings of your browser.

The data is exported in the same format as it was uploaded, with the exception of IP address ranges. If a range of addresses was indicated in the format 1.0.0.0/24 in a file imported into KUMA, the range will be displayed in the format 1.0.0.0-1.0.0.255 in the exported file.
