This script is provided with no guarantees, warranties, or herbal teas. It was written in a hurry by someone with no professional Python coding experience. It worked in my very limited testing, but it might require tweaks or updates to work for you.

Graylog 5.2 includes a new Asset Database plugin which allows you to define machine and user assets and correlate those assets with your incoming log data. At release, it supports entering assets manually or importing from either LDAP or Active Directory. However, many people who don't have an LDAP or AD server do have way more machines than they care to enter manually. So I built this script to import machine and user assets in bulk from a .csv file.

The most important thing to mention is that the script expects your .csv file to be organized exactly like the provided sample_machine_upload.csv and sample_user_upload.csv files. If the data is not in the expected columns, the script will not work.

I highly recommend you use sample_machine_upload.csv or sample_user_upload.csv as a starting point. Load it up in your favorite spreadsheet program, delete the non-header rows, and fill in with your own data.

usage: upload-assets.py [-h] (--user | --machine) [--https] [-s SERVER] [-p PORT] -k APIKEY -f FILE [--noheader]
