Importing and exporting a security posture tag

Importing and exporting a security posture tag

You can import and export security posture tag set as a JSON file.

You can import tagging rule sets from an older EMS version to EMS 726.1.b. If multiple tagging rule sets apply the same tag to an endpoint, after import, EMS combines the entries into one in Tags.

To import a tag set:
  1. If importing a tag set from an older EMS version, in the older EMS version, go to Security Posture Tags > Security Posture Tagging Rules.
  2. Click Export.

  3. In EMS 26.1.b, go to Security Posture Tags > Tags.
  4. Click More > Import tag configuration.
  5. In the File field, upload the desired JSON file.
  6. For On tag name conflict, select one of the following actions to take if the imported tag has the same name as an existing security posture tag in EMS:

    Option

    Description

    Rename

    Rename the imported tag. This option adds a -1 to the imported tag. For example, if the existing and imported tags share the name AV-Not-Installed, this option renames the imported tag to AV-Not-Installed-1. If AV-Not-Installed-1 already exists as well, EMS renames the imported tag AV-Not-Installed-2, and so on.

    Overwrite

    Overwrite the existing tag with the imported tag. The overwritten tag only contains the rules for the imported tag. Rules for the existing tag are not retained.

    Do not import

    Stop importing the new tag.

  7. Click OK. In the example, after import, the rule sets that all applied RD_Endpoint_Compliance are combined into a single entry for the RD_Endpoint_Compliance tag, with the multiple OSes displayed under the OS and Rule Types column.

To export a security posture tagging rule set:
  1. Go to Security Posture Tags > Tags.
  2. Click More > Export tag configuration.
