Hi all, I have run on some offline servers the ndtrack script manually with the option Upload to false. So now I have the inventory files on my hand by I don't know how to import them in FNMS. Is there some KB or how-to?
Thanks

Looks as if:
For the Inventory for the 'gec-c-or-as-f04' device: Be patient please. Resolving a 18 MB NDI file into the [FNMSInventory] database can take a little while.
You may want to review the agent configuration settings for file scanning on target computers, as file evidence has a small effect on application recognition, but has a big impact on the file size of NDI files especially for non-Windows devices.
As files in gzip format are smaller, uploading and importing Inventory data in .gz format will be quicker.

As an alternative, you can copy the NDI files to the following folder on your FNMS application (Inventory) server:
%ProgramData%\Flexera Software\Incoming\Inventories
In case you don't want to wait for the "Import Inventories" scheduled task to kick in - this task runs every 10 minutes by default - you can:
You should see your Inventory files disappear from the file system within a few seconds. Of course, you still have to trigger the ComplianceImport (or wait until the next day) to see the data in the FNMS Web UI.
Personally, I like running the mgsImport tool interactively, as it will display any error messages on the console window.

The 'mgsImport' tool will import both unpacked (*.ndi) inventory files (in XML format), as well as any NDI file in gzip format (*.ndi.gz).
Can you provide the output when running 'mgsImport' from the command line, please? Is there any error message?

hi @marcog ,
you can copy the ndi file directly into the mentioned path and no folder creation required.
