# Amazon Sample CSV | Bulk Import of Monitors - Applications Manager User Guide

This page is a sample CSV file for performing the bulk import of Amazon monitors in Applications Manager.

# This is a sample .csv file for bulk import of monitors.

1. Header should start with #Header: followed by the Input Field names. It is already coded for you.  
   **Note:** Do not modify the header.
2. From the second line onwards, give the input values according to the column names in the header.
3. You can remove the example entries in this file from the second line onwards and add your own monitor input information. You can add comments by including the # symbol at the beginning of the line.
4. Save the file on any computer, but upload it to the Applications Manager web client using bulk import monitor form.
5. After uploading, click on Next, the entire monitor input information will be shown in a table format for your reference.
6. If everything is OK, click on Start Discovery. The monitors will be scheduled for discovery. It would take a few minutes to complete the process. When the monitors are scheduled for discovery, the uploaded file will be deleted simultaneously from Applications Manager (as this file contains security information).
7. If you want to cancel the process midway, delete the uploaded file from the Applications Manager machine.
8. **Amazon Services:** Specify the list of services to be monitored in a comma-separated format. To know the values to be specified, refer to the 'AmazonServices' values under the 'Request Parameters' section (https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/help/restapi-cloud-apps.html#amazon) in the 'Amazon' monitor.
9. **Authentication Type:** Possible values are accessKeys and role-based. If you choose accessKeys, specify the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. If you choose role-based, specify the IAM Role ARN and External ID.
10. **Child Discovery:**  
    - 0 - Do not discover  
    - 1 - Discover and unmanage  
    - 2 - Discover and monitor child monitors
11. **Action on Deleted Resources:** Possible values are Alert / Stop / Unmanage / Delete.
12. **Regex to filter EC2 instances:** Regex may contain alphanumeric characters, hyphen (-), underscore (_) and period (.). To ignore characters, specify .* at the beginning/end/middle one or more times.
13. Fields **MonitorGroupID** and **PollInterval** are optional. If PollInterval is not specified, the default value is 5 minutes.
14. PollInterval should be given in minutes.
15. Values with embedded commas can be given inside "".
16. Enter the credentialID, if you wish to use preconfigured credential details from Credentials Manager.
17. ManagedServerID and ManagedServerGroupName can be specified only if bulk import is performed from the Admin Server in Enterprise Edition. If these field values are not specified, the new monitor will be added in the least loaded Managed Server.
18. The existing MonitorGroupID must be specified. A new Monitor Group will not be created if the specified ID does not exist.
19. If you want to discover child monitors at a specific time interval but not in every poll, specify the Discovery Interval greater than PollInterval. Discovery Interval should be given in minutes.
