Service Level Agreements Import

Service Level Agreements can be imported into 4me using UTF-8 or UTF-16LE encoded comma-separated values (CSV) or tab-separated values (TSV) files.

Detailed information about the data that can be specified in the columns of a Service Level Agreements import file can be found in Service Level Agreements API - Fields.

Updating Existing SLAs

When identifying an existing SLA for an update using the Source and SourceID columns as described in the Create or update? section, the SLA will be searched for in the account of the API user.

Relating Multiple Service Instances

For each service instance that is specified in the Service Instances column, 4me needs to know whether the service instance will either be ‘down’ or only ‘degraded’ when the service instance that is specified in the Service Instance column is down.

Therefore an extension is used to the standard way of relating to multiple other records:

"Expense Reporting Production / down
SAP Production / degraded"
