Bulk import from a CSV

If your inventory already lives in a spreadsheet, you don’t have to retype it. Map your columns to TermZ session fields, then produce the import JSON envelope — any small script or spreadsheet formula can do the conversion.

Map columns to fields

Spreadsheet column	Session field	Notes
Name	`name`	Required. Display name (also used for dedup).
Host / IP	`host`	Hostname or IP.
Protocol	`kind`	`ssh`, `telnet`, `raw`, `serial`, or `local`.
Username	`username`	Login user.
Folder	`folder_path`	POSIX-style, e.g. `/Datacenter/Core`. Missing folders are auto-created.
Device type	`equipment_type`	Router, switch, firewall…; custom types allowed.
Tags	`tags`	An array — see below.
Credential	`credential`	Name of a stored credential to link.
Notes	`notes`	Freeform.

Tags from a delimited column

Spreadsheets usually keep tags in one cell (e.g. prod;core;dc-east). Split that string on your delimiter into a JSON array:

"tags": ["prod", "core", "dc-east"]

Wrap it in the envelope

Emit one object per row inside the sessions array:

{
  "version": 1,
  "sessions": [
    { "name": "core-rtr-01", "host": "10.0.4.1", "kind": "ssh", "username": "netadmin", "folder_path": "/Datacenter/Core", "equipment_type": "router", "tags": ["prod", "core"], "credential": "netadmin-prod" }
  ]
}
