MARS - Load From Seed File fails

[m.vuckovic]

Hi, everybody.

I have problem with importing larger number of devices into MARS using Load from Seed File funcionality. I successfully connect to FTP server but I receive following error:

Status: Errors occured while retrieving csv file from ftp server. sed: can't read /tmp/mars.csv: No such file or directory while executing "exec sed -i "s/\15//g" /tmp/$fileName" (file "./ftpconfig.exp" line 243)

Any ideas how to resolve it ?

Thanks in advance

Can you try breaking the seed files contents into two different files?

Hi.

I did this. I made smaller 5 lines file which includes just IP's and snmp string data for hosts. Stil same message.

Is it possible to post your seed file after replacing sensitive information with dummy values?

Of course. I'm attaching it. SNMP string values arereplaced with wildcards.

Hello,

It seems to me that if you have any of the following characters in SNMP string "/\.*[]^$" it could make problems to sed which is parsing the file. Try to change SNMP strings to avoid those characters.

Hello, Marko.

This is true. I have '$' in my snmp string. But I've tried also with different snmp string with no special characters and the problem still persists.

Best regards,

H, everybody.

Sorry to bother you all because the mistake was realy something completely different. Importing the file via ftp uses passive ftp and there were some problems with permission of hat traffic.

Thank you again.
