Add assets to your inventory through the UI.
You can add assets to your inventory by submitting an asset upload request, in the form of a CSV file, through the Cortex Xpanse UI. After you've submitted an asset upload request, the requested assets appear in the Asset Uploads/Removal table with the status Pending Review. Cortex Xpanse will respond to your upload request within five days of submission. The status of each asset will be updated in the Asset Uploads/Removal table to either Accepted, which indicates that the asset has been added to your inventory, or Rejected. Rejected assets will have an explanation for the rejection.
Guidelines and restrictions for asset uploads
Before you submit an asset upload request, familiarize yourself with the following guidelines and restrictions:
You can upload domains (paid-level domains and subdomains) and IPv4 ranges. You can upload a single IPv4 address, but it must be submitted as an IPv4 range asset type. Upload of certificates and IPv6 ranges is not yet supported.
An asset upload request can include up to 500 assets.
The asset upload request must follow the CSV formatting requirements described in the CSV format for upload requests section.
You can upload assets to a new business unit, even if the asset is already in your inventory and associated with an existing business unit.
Note
If an asset upload request has an invalid CSV or includes one or more invalid assets, the entire request will fail, and none of the assets will be uploaded. If this happens, Cortex Xpanse will display an error message indicating what caused the error, so you can fix the problem and resubmit if you choose.
Overlap Analysis
When you submit an asset upload request,Cortex Xpanse automatically creates an overlap analysis report. This report explains the overlap between the new assets in your upload request and your existing inventory, including a breakdown of the overlap by business unit.
The overlap analysis report is generated and available as a downloadable CSV file in the UI after you submit your upload request, but before you confirm the final submission. This allows you time to review the report before finalizing the upload.
Create and save a CSV file that lists the assets you want to add to your inventory. It is important to format the CSV file correctly, or the upload might fail. Refer to CSV format for upload requests for an example and details about upload request CSV file formatting.
Navigate to → → → .
Click the Asset Upload/Removal button and select Add Asset(s).
Drag and drop or browse to your CSV file to upload it to Cortex Xpanse.
The assets will be added to the Asset Uploads/Removals table with the status Pending,
Check the status of your asset upload request as needed on the Asset Uploads/Removals page.
Within five days of submitting your request, each asset will be Accepted and added to the inventory or Rejected. Assets that were rejected will include an explanation in the Decision Reason field.
Rejection reasons for upload requests
After submitting an upload request, Cortex Xpanse will accept or reject each individual asset. Rejected assets will indicate the reason for the rejection in the Decision Reason column of the Asset Uploads/Removal table. Rejection reasons include the following:
The asset you uploaded shows registration information that is attributable to an unrelated organization.
The asset you uploaded is currently for sale.
The asset you uploaded is a cloud IP address or the asset you uploaded is a cloud or reserved internal IANA IP address. We do not add these asset types to customer maps.
The asset you uploaded contains your customer’s content. Cortex Xpanse focuses on corporate infrastructure for our telecommunications, ISPs, and other customer leasing organizations.
