Bulk Host/Object Additions into FirePOWER Management Center?

[brian.emil.harris]

I need to add about 80-90 hosts/objects into FirePOWER Management Center to build some IPS rules around them.

Is there another alternative to add hosts, save for one at a time via the GUI?

I haven't used it but there is a Host Input API:

There is also a REST API, but as of Release 6.2 it doesn't appear to support PUT for objects or hosts, only GET.

Thank you, I will look into the Host Input API.

fast-forward to now, the API is much more robust, and getting better. The host, port, and many others are now available, as well as the bulk-add api.
