importcollector

Use this command to import data collectors from a .csv file into the product.

If the .csv file you want to use is generated by using the exportcollector CLI command and this file contains the Monitor-file-over-SSH and Monitor file over Windows Share data collectors, then before you run this command, ensure that you edit the .csv file and replace the existing password with the actual password for connecting with the target host from which you want to collect the data.

Note

You cannot use this command to import the Upload File type of data collector.
