Import and Export Services

The bulk import and export of services feature is a useful tool for managing large-scale networks efficiently. The benefits of such a feature include:

  • Time-saving: You can create or modify multiple services simultaneously. This saves time and effort compared to manually creating or modifying services one by one.

  • Accuracy: By using the import and export feature, you can avoid errors that can occur when manually creating or modifying services. With this feature, you can ensure that all services are created or modified according to a predefined format, which increases accuracy.

  • Scalability: As network infrastructures grow larger, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage them effectively. The import and export feature helps you to scale up your network management capabilities to accommodate growing networks.

  • Standardization: When you create or modify services using the import and export feature, you can ensure that you adhere to a predefined set of standards. This helps maintain consistency across the network and avoids potential configuration errors.

  • Flexibility: You can use the import and export feature to move services between different systems or locations, which can be useful when migrating to new systems or consolidating multiple networks.

The bulk import and export of services can help you manage large-scale networks more efficiently, accurately, and consistently. This feature can save time, improve accuracy, and facilitate scalability and standardization of addresses across the network.

Import Services from a CSV File

Before You Begin

Download the CSV file template, and enter your services data.

  1. Click More > Import services from CSV.

    The Import services from CSV page opens.

  2. Click Download CSV template.

    The CSV file template is downloaded to your computer.

To import services from a CSV file:

  1. Click Shared Services>Objects>Services.
    The Services page opens.

  3. Select the CSV file to import the services, and click Upload.
    • Juniper Security Director Cloud analyzes the services data for errors. If errors are detected, it adds the error details in the CSV file. Download the updated CSV file and resolve the errors.

    • If no errors are detected in the CSV file, the file is uploaded to import the services data.

  4. Optional: If Juniper Security Director Cloud detects errors in the CSV file, download the updated CSV file, resolve the errors, and upload the file again.
    • If services in the imported data contain the same name as existing services with different values, the Conflict Resolution page is displayed with the list of conflicting services.

    • If no conflicts are detected, the services data is imported.

  5. Optional: If Juniper Security Director Cloud detects conflicts in the imported data, select one of the following options on the Conflict Resolution page to resolve the conflict between the imported and existing services data:
    • Keep existing—The existing value in Juniper Security Director Cloud is retained, and a new value is not imported. A tick mark identifies the values of the services data that will not be imported.

    • Create new object—A new services object is created with a new name. For example, if the existing object contains the Address name, the new object is created with the Address_1 name.

    • Overwrite with imported value—The existing value in Juniper Security Director Cloud is overwritten with the new value that is imported. A tick mark identifies the data that will overwrite the existing services' values.

    You can also select different resolution options from the Action column drop-down list of each row of conflicting services.

  6. Click OK.
All data conflicts are resolved, and the services data is imported from the CSV file and displayed on the services page.
