Create an import configuration in Insight

Once you install the Discovery app, you'll see a new import type in Insight (for Cloud, it's available by default). You need to use this type to create an import configuration before you can start importing your data.

For more information on how to do it, see:

• Creating import configuration
• Importing data from Discovery to Insight

Importing data for the first time

The initial import will take more time than the subsequent ones, that's why we recommend the following steps:

1. Do not include Applications, Application Services and Patches in your first import. Insight will import only hosts and basic corresponding data, which should make the import faster. You can configure the import to exclude these items.
2. Add Applications to the second import.
3. Add Application Services to the third import.
4. Add Patches for the following imports.
