Export Device Details

Although you can export the details of multiple devices at the same time, you can only export details of one kind of device during each export action. So, for example, you can export details of five ADCs to a single external file, but you cannot export details of 3 ADCs and 2 servers to a single file. You would need to export the ADC details first and then run a separate export for the server details.

To export the details of one or more devices:

  1. Click and select Inventory > Device.
    The Device screen opens.
  2. At the top of the screen, click the tab that corresponds to the type of device you want to export: ADC, server, DNS, firewall, WAF, switch, router, proxy, or others.
  3. If the device you want to export is not listed on the screen, run a search to locate it.
  4. Click the checkbox beside the device name. If you are exporting details of multiple devices of the same kind, select the checkboxes for each one.
  5. Click in the Command bar at the top of the screen.
  6. On the Export pop-up screen that appears, select the type of information you want to export:
    • All columns - Select this option if you want to export all information about the device.
    • Displayed columns - Select this option if you want to export only the information that is visible on the Device screen. This is useful if you need to compare values or settings for different devices and do not have any need to see the less important data.
    • Columns to modify data and import - Select this option if you are exporting device details to make modifications and then re-import the data into the AppViewX inventory.
  7. On the screen that opens, select the location where you want the device details file to go, then click Save.
    The details are then downloaded as an Excel.xls file.
