Icinga - Director sync rules lack Data fields and Data field categories

Icinga Web Modules Icinga Director
1

Hi,

I’m trying to import a buch of ‘Data Fields’ into director via Import Source (currently a csv from fileshipper module) and a Sync Rule (where the missing object should be).

similar post is of no use, as people endup importing icinga objects (hosts, services , … with custom vars and the like); but not Director ‘Data Fields’ nor ‘Data field categories’

Is this a missing feature? a per-design unsupported issue? or is there a proper way to import Data fields and Data categories into Director?

Desired ‘director-objects’

(Data list entry is the only one visible on the Sync rule | Create fields | object Type)

from browser dev tools, the combo list to select the object type can be extracted:

   <option value="">- please choose -</option>
    <option value="host">Host</option>
    <option value="hostgroup">Host Group</option>
    <option value="service">Service</option>
    <option value="servicegroup">Service Group</option>
    <option value="serviceSet">Service Set</option>
    <option value="user">User</option>
    <option value="usergroup">User Group</option>
    <option value="datalistEntry" selected="selected">Data List Entry</option>
    <option value="command">Command</option>
    <option value="timePeriod">Time Period</option>
    <option value="notification">Notification</option>
    <option value="scheduledDowntime">Scheduled Downtime</option>
    <option value="dependency">Dependency</option>
    <option value="endpoint">Endpoint</option>
    <option value="zone">Zone</option>

Can Data Fields and its categories be imported at all?
Is there a way to do so?

Thanks in advance,

I have the same issue. I would like to import many Data Fields and Data Field Categories from our CMDB, but there is no option to do so.
