A comma-separated values (CSV) file is a text file that uses a comma to separate values. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. RayVentory Scan Engine uses a semicolon instead of a comma to separate the fields. The data for each device that is about to be imported should be in one line.
A data record can contain several values:
Field |
Description |
Example |
|---|---|---|
IP Address |
The IPv4 address of the imported device, based on which it will be possible to connect to the target device. |
192.168.120.170 |
Hostname |
The device name identifying the computer in the network. |
0123.example.corp |
Type |
The type of the device to be added. RayVentory Scan Engine support three device types: Windows, UNIX, and Unknown. |
Windows |
Username |
The username with which it will be possible to connect to the device and gain access to it in order to make an inventory. |
Administrator |
Password |
The password for the account used to authenticate with the device. |
Example!@3# |
Credentials |
The logical credential name that will be used to save the credentials. |
0123Credentials |
The minimum data required to import a device is the IP Address.
