5.6.2 - How do I add Ping-only devices from a file in Statseeker?

1. Create a CSV file with the following headings; IP Address, Device Name, and Ping-only and enter the appropriate data (Ping-only is always "true").

e.g.

IP Address Device Name Ping-only
10.100.59.254 Athens-rtr true
10.100.59.11 Athens-srv1 true
10.100.59.12 Athens-srv2 true
10.100.59.253 Athens-swt1 true
10.100.59.252 Athens-swt2 true
10.100.59.251 Athens-swt3 true
10.100.59.250 Athens-swt4 true
10.100.59.3 Athens-ups1 true
10.100.59.4 Athens-ups2 true

Then go to Admin Tool GUI > Discover My Network > Manual Device Addition.
