CloudScape
CloudScape is a landscape discovery tool that was recently acquired by Flexera. It can be used to discover infrastructure and therefore gives a useful baseline of components to be imported to Txture. Unfortunately, CloudScape does not offer any API and data must therefore be imported to Txture using CloudScape's export function.
Preparation - Download reports from RISCNetworks Portal
After logging in to RISCNetworks, proceed to the available reports section:
Download the Database Summary, Server Inventory and Economics Report reports and extract the ZIP files.
CloudScape Data Source & Importer
Proceed to upload the following reports to a CloudScape Data Source in Txture:
- server_inventory.csv
- server_logical_disks.csv
- database_summary.csv
- economics.csv
In the next step, create an auto-configured importer, it will create all necessary asset, property and link importers.
