You can specify multiple containers to sync devices from.
Please note each sync container should be provided on a separate line.

NetXMS importer supports remote UUIDs.

Required privileges in NetXMS

The user used for sync doesn't need any System Rights at all.

It only needs access to the containers configured for sync, and all the objects in those containers which should be synced.
For the containers and objects, only "Read" access right is required

...

Specifying import criteria

All devices under the sync containers will be synced into Unimus.
(Unimus will find all nodes bound to each sync container and all containers under the sync container)

...

If only the container name is specified, the first container found in NetXMS matching the name will be used. To do so, following key value formant need to be used "container=Name".

For example "container=Customer A" (without quotes) would sync from container with name Customer A.

2) Specify exact container path

...

Code Block
|- Infrastructure Services
   |- Customer A
      |- Routers
      |- Switches
   |- Customer B
      |- Routers/Switches
      |- Wireless

You can specify "Customer Acontainer=Customer A/Routers" (without quotes) to only sync devices from that container.

You can use "\" as an escape character if your container name contains "/".
For example, you can specify "container=Customer B/Routers\/Switches" (without quotes) to properly sync that container.

...

You can specify container IDs by prefixing the ID with a "#".key value format “id=id value"

For example, specifying "#1574id=1574" (without quotes) would sync from container with ID 1574.

Behavior pre-1.5.1

Before Unimus 1.5.1, NetXMS importer will import only devices which are direct members of the sync containers.
(it will not import devices in the downwards structure under the sync containers)

For each sync container, the importer finds the first NetXMS container that matches the name, and import the devices in that container.

When using NetXMS importer pre-1.5.1, we recommend creating a single sync container.
(for example, named "Unimus sync")

For that container, setup auto-bind rules to have all devices bound to the container you want to be synced to Unimus.

Then in Unimus, simply specify the 'Unimus sync' container to sync from

How to configure the importer

1) Provide full NetXMS server URL in the "NetXMS server address" field.

For example: "10.2.0.111"

2) Provide Username and password to access NetXMS.

3) Configure Container Names or Container IDs to import devices from, one per line.

4) Optionally, you can also schedule the importer.

You simply need to select an existing (or use the default) schedule.With this configuration, Unimus will sync against the NMS periodically.
