Bulk import/export of Advanced Alerts

It'd be really nice if there was an option to import/export advanced alerts in bulk. Currently we're limited to one at a time unless you're comfortable with diving into the database and doing it that way.

I would like to see this as well, or at the very least some way of reporting on bulk alerts for email address verification, etc.

Would it be possible to get some short of ePak for Advanced Alert Manager? I am a MSP in Brasil and have a Gigantic Customer, (One of your Biggest in Latin America) and I need to export/import 3K Alerts. I have tried to do this via the DB and the new alerts are not recognized. Exporting 1 at a time is not feasible. PLease let me know what I can do.

Hi Alex,

could you, please, specify what does the "new alerts are not recognized" does mean? Does it mean, that you import the alerts to SQL studio and after opening in Advanced Alert Manager they aren't shown/can't be opened/some parts of definitions are missing in AAM UI?

For correct import there's needed at least:

To have installed all the modules as the source Orion instance used for alerting (e.g. if only NPM is installed, alerts on SAM Applications won't work and can't be displayed)
To have created the "Custom properties", which were used in the definitions. For this purpose can be used the bulk export/import feature of the web based Custom property editor (or pretty more complicated import work with creating new DB columns in appropriate tables and import of CustomPropertyMetadata, CustomPropertyValues. But here's a lot of places where you can make mistake, so I recommend the official way via CPE).
Import AlertDefinitions (Advanced alerts), ActionDefinitions, Alerts (Basic Alerts), AlertActions

However please try to describe the situation.

Thanks,

Did this ever get opened as a feature request for SolarWinds? I am about to sob at my desk as I have to export all of our alerts one by one.

Import / Export a weak point for solarwinds across many products. They really need to strength this function across all products. +1

This would be very helpful since we are building out a new environment.
