Importing Different Types of Devices from Systems

Insight Manager

By default, the provided Insight Manager configuration file imports the data objects defined in the
following table. Several of these objects should have a Configuration Item category created before they

are imported into the Service Desk database. If a Configuration Item category is not created for these

devices, they are imported into the Server category by default.

After these items are imported into the Service Desk database, they can be re-categorized as necessary.

For example, all switch devices are placed under the Switch CI category (including storage switches).

After the import, the storage switches can be moved to the Storage CI.
