Import from CSV

If you're coming from a provider without one-click import - or your monitor list lives in a spreadsheet or infrastructure inventory - the CSV importer bulk-creates monitors from a simple four-column file.

Before you start

Prepare a CSV with one monitor per row. The header row is optional; the columns are:

name,type,target,interval
Marketing site,http,https://acme.com,1m
API health,http,https://api.acme.com/health,30s
Office router,ping,203.0.113.7,5m
Postgres,port,db.acme.com:5432,1m
Mail server,smtp,mail.acme.com,5m

Column	Required	Values
`name`	Yes	The monitor's display name
`type`	Yes	`http`, `ping`, `port`, or `smtp`
`target`	Yes	A URL for `http` (`https://` is assumed if the scheme is missing); a host or IP for `ping` and `smtp`; `host:port` for `port`
`interval`	No	Check interval in `30s` / `1m` / `5m` / `1h` / `24h` style. Defaults to `5m`; snapped to the values your plan allows

Not sure about the format? The importer has a Download template button that gives you vantaj-monitors-template.csv with the example rows above.

Running the import

In Vantaj, go to Settings → Import Monitors and pick Bulk import from CSV
Upload your file (or click Download template first to start from the example)
Review the parsed list - valid rows are selected by default. Rows with problems are listed with the reason and skipped; the valid rows still import. Monitors that already exist in Vantaj (matched by URL) are flagged and deselected so you don't create duplicates
Click Import - monitors are created and checks start immediately

Everything is imported into your currently active project.

Plan limits

Imports count toward your plan's monitor limit, shared across uptime monitors, heartbeats, and domains. If your selection exceeds the remaining allowance, the importer tells you before anything is created - deselect a few monitors or upgrade your plan first.

Intervals below your plan's minimum are raised to the closest allowed value (e.g. a 30-second interval becomes 5 minutes on the free plan).

Migrating from another provider?

One-click import is available for UptimeRobot, Pingdom, StatusCake, and Better Stack - no CSV needed. For anything more custom, the REST API makes scripted bulk imports straightforward.
