Importing a file with a list of servers for WMI agents
If you have many servers, you can import a .TSV file with a list of event sources for WMI agents so that you do not have to manually fill in the Server, Domain, and Log type settings for the WMI agent for each server. In such a file, you can prepare a list of servers to which the WMI agent will connect and a list of logs that you want to receive from the specified servers.
Requirements for the file with a list of servers for WMI agents.
Acceptable file format: TSV.
If you change the recommended format to All files and upload a file that does not comply with the required format (for example, a JSON file, XML file, or some different format instead of TSV), such a file may be parsed incorrectly.
The maximum number of lines in a file with host settings is 500.
The following fields are required:
After importing and filling in all the fields of the remote hosts, a check is performed when you save settings. If any errors are found in the fields, the settings are not saved, and the errors are highlighted. You can manually update the fields as necessary and save the settings.
To import a file with a list of sources:
- In the Resources → Agents section of the KUMA interface, create a WMI agent or open the WMI agent settings for editing.
- This opens a window; in that window, on the Configuration resource # tab, in the Connector section, specify the name of the connector, in the Type drop-down list, select wmi and click the Import TSV button.
- This opens a window; in that window, select the prepared file with the list of sources in the .TSV format.
KUMA parses the file and fills in under Remote hosts, fills the Server, Domain, and Log type required fields.
- If necessary, in the Secret drop-down list, select a secret of the Credentials type or create a secret of the Credentials type.
When importing a list of hosts from a file, in the Secret drop-down list, Default remains selected, and the agent uses the default credentials when communicating with the server to retrieve logs.
- If you want to cancel the import of data from the file, click Cancel. If you want to delete some data lines imported from a file, in the user interface, select the lines you want to delete and click Delete.
- Save settings in one of the following ways:
- For a newly created agent, click Create. The service is created in the KUMA web interface.
- For an active agent opened for editing, click Save.
- Apply the saved settings in one of the following ways:
The file with a list of servers for WMI agents is imported.
