Introduction

Devices are the core item of interest to Open-AudIT.

...

A device in Open-AudIT has an Open-AudIT specific name. This is distinct from its hostname, dns hostname, sysName or any other retrieved attribute. Open-AudIT will populate the name attribute based on the information it has determined about a device. The name can be overwritten by the user at any time. Where possible, the first option will be chosen and where possible on subsequent audits, will be changed to the first option: hostname, sysName, dns_hostname, sysName, IP address.

Creating a Devices Entry

...

A device can be created using the web interface if a user has a role that contains the devices::create permission. Go to menu: Manage-> Devices -> Create Devices. There is also a create button on the collection page.

Open-AudIT automatically populates attributes of devices that have been found during the audit process. However, it is possible to add devices manually in 3 different ways:

Manual input.
Filling in the relevant attributes for the device.

Import Multiple Devices

It is possible to import one or many devices using a CSV file, Audit Script Result, or a NMIS Nodes file.

...

You should use a header line containing the names of the columns you wish to populate, then your data lines below that.
