Ability to bulk import nodes from an Excel spreadsheet that contains node polling method and node custom properties

mcelwrm

I am looking to add over 1,000 nodes into SolarWinds with ICMP polling only.  I have the IP, node name, and several custom properties within an Excel spreadsheet and I would like to import all of that data directly into SolarWinds.  I had a ticket open with TAC for several weeks and it bounced around, but they finally came back and said it was not possible and to submit a feature request.  I'm surprised this integration is not already in place, so if others have ideas on how best to bulk import devices, it would be great to hear.  Thank you

Hello, you should be able to use network discovery and grab your IP column from the spreadsheet to put in as an IP list. Then just use custom property importer to get the values in matching to the IP address.
