Post subject:  Insert/update multiple computers using XMLs

Hi. I have an infrastructure with a lot of offline computers. So we need to insert/update devices using XMLs generated by scripts. On the web interface (version 1.8.2) I can see that it is possible to add a single computer using XML (audit result) or add a single device manually (form) or add multiple devices using XLS. My question is: Is there a way to add multiple computers using just multiple XMLs that I have?

I don't think there is anything for this right now.

It should be fairly simple to write a script to cycle through a directory of XML files, post the data and remove or archive the files using the same mechanism that all the audit scripts use to post XML.

I wrote a bash script for this purpose a while ago, you can use it and change it as you please:

[code]#!/bin/bash
# Aim: submit manually created Open-Audit files to Auditserver
#
# usage example: find * -name '*.xml' -exec ls submit_host.sh {} \;

AUDIT_URL=<URL to auditserver>/index.php/system/add_system
EXPECTED_ARGS=1
WGET=`which wget`

if [ $# -ne $EXPECTED_ARGS ]
then
echo "Usage: $0 hostname-<date>.xml"
exit $E_BADARGS
fi

# append metadata
#form_systemXML=
sed -i '1s/^/form_systemXML=/' "$1"

# fix special chars
sed -i -e 's/+/%2B/g' "$1"
sed -i -e 's/"/%22/g' "$1"
sed -i -e 's/&/%26/g' "$1"

$WGET --post-file=$1 $AUDIT_URL 2>/dev/null

# switch back to std xml
sed -i -e 's/form_systemXML=//g' "$1"
sed -i -e 's/%2B/+/g' "$1"
sed -i -e 's/%22/"/g' "$1"
sed -i -e 's/%26/&/g' "$1"
[/code]
