To assist with integrating NMIS with other network management systems, NMIS includes a little script for importing nodes from a zenbatchdump file.
The Zenoss bulk import script can be found in /usr/local/nmis8/admin/import_zenoss_backup.pl and there is a sample zenbatchdump file at /usr/local/nmis8/admin/samples/zenbatchdump_sample.txt
The commandline parameters can be viewed by running the script without arguments:
import_zenoss_backup.pl \ zenbatchdump=/usr/local/nmis8/admin/samples/zenbatchdump_sample.txt \ nodes=/usr/local/nmis8/conf/Nodes.nmis.new \ locations=/usr/local/nmis8/conf/Locations.nmis.new \ customers=/usr/local/nmis8/conf/Customers.nmis.new \ role=access group=NMIS8 customer_is_imported_group=0|1 fixNames=0|1 setlocation=all|setAddress|setTitle verbose=0|1
