Basically, importing an Agent configuration consists in importing a configuration file (.cfg) that has been previously "exported" from another Agent and saved. The exporting procedure must be performed from a PATROL Console. Refer to the Backing Up an Entire Monitoring Studio Configuration or Exporting a Group Configuration chapters of the Monitoring Studio KM for PATROL User Documentation available on Sentry Software's Website.
 This operation is only possible if you have previously exported an entire Monitoring Studio configuration or a single Monitoring Studio Group configuration (without clearing Host information) from a PATROL Console.
To import an agent configuration:
| 1. | Log on to Central Monitoring Administration. |
| 2. | In the Navigation pane, click the Policies drawer. |
| 3. | Expand the Monitoring folder and select a policy view (e.g. All). |
| 4. | Click  to create a Policy that will be deployed on the PATROL Agents that share the same specified Tag or according to their IP address, hostname, etc. |
| 5. | Only select the Configuration Variables option. |
| 6. | Click the Import  button and select the exported Monitoring Studio configuration file (.cfg). This will import the full Monitoring Studio configuration. |
| 7. | Recheck the imported configuration values and change them if required. |
| 8. | Check that the configuration variable: /SENTRY/STUDIO/forceClassicConfigMode is set to 1. If it is missing, simply create it and set it to 1. |
Please note that after setting the forceClassicConfigMode configuration variable to 1, all other configurations will be deactivated in CMA.
 You may import a PATROL Agent configuration (".cfg") with any type of thresholds. If necessary, Monitoring Studio will convert the thresholds to the type of thresholds currently used at the next discovery (within an hour).
