You can update AWS Cloud assets in bulk by importing a CSV file. Here are some general guidelines on importing AWS Cloud assets. 

1. Create a separate file for each asset type so that you only import one asset type at a time.

2.  In the below table, refer to the respective new asset type for each of the Native AWS Cloud resources. If you have custom fields in the Native AWS asset type, create them under the new AWS Cloud Discovery asset type and map them during the import.

        Native AWS asset type

       AWS Cloud Discovery Asset type      

                          EC2                          

     Virtual Machine → AWS VM

     RDS

     Database → AWS RDS

     EBS

     Volume →AWS Disk         


3. Go to Admin > Inventory > Import.


4. Select the Asset Type to import and upload the CSV file.


5. Choose how to Match Records in the CSV with assets in Freshservice. You can match records by Display Name or Asset Tag.



  6. Freshservice automatically maps the fields in your CSV based on the header in the CSV. The values of the first asset entry in the CSV file are also shown as an example next to the mapping.

7. Review this mapping and make any changes as needed. Ensure the date format selected and the date format in the CSV match if you wish to update any date fields.

8. While importing, ensure you are mapping the item ID with the below unique identifiers.

Native AWS asset type

AWS Asset type

Unique identifier

EC2

Virtual Machine → AWS VM

Instance id

RDS

AWS RDS

Instance name

EBS

Volume →AWS Disk

Volume id


9. Click Import to start the import process.


10. Once the import is complete, you will get an import status and a quick summary of errors encountered during the import. An email with an import status report will also be sent to the user who initiated the report once the import is completed.
