Inventory Import
The inventory import is one of the predefined pipelines (What is a pipeline?), which you can use after installing Pacemaker. There are sample files, which can be used as a template for your data files or testing purposes (see Run your first predefined import jobs). On this page, you will read how it works, how to configure, and how to customize this pipeline.
