Import from Wialon

To transfer data from the Wialon system, use the Import from Wialon module. Data migration is performed through a migration wizard — simply select the objects you need and import them into PILOT.

Before transferring data, make sure your Wialon account has export permissions — specifically, access to the Import/Export feature. If you don’t have these permissions, the Import from Wialon won’t be able to export any objects.

Wialon permissions for import and export

How to import data:

1. Enable the Import from Wialon module in the admin panel. After this, the Import from Wialon button will appear in the Main tab

Import Wialon

2. Click the button

3. The migration wizard window will open, divided into two parts:

On the left: a list of migration tasks
On the right: a list of Wialon objects available for transfer

4. Create a new migration task:

1) Click Add task

Add task

2) In the pop-up window, fill in the fields:

Wialon login — your Wialon login
Wialon password — your Wialon password

3) Click Load object list from Wialon

4) At the bottom, you’ll see a list of objects available for import. Check the boxes next to the objects you want to import

Objects marked as processed are already selected in other tasks and cannot be chosen again.

5) Click Save

5. The new task will appear in the list on the left in the migration wizard. All statuses will be empty, meaning the task has not yet started.

6. To start the data transfer, click on the task in the list and then click Run task

Once started, the task cannot be edited.

Run task

7. After starting the task, data transfer will begin automatically.

The status of each step will update in the migration wizard window — this usually takes less than a minute.

Wait for the process to finish: you’ll see the statuses change and new data appear.

To monitor the migration process and see the latest statuses, click the Refresh list button.

After running task ID: 322, the only Wialon object was fully and successfully transferred to PILOT.

Migration steps

For each object, the following migration steps are displayed:

Step	Description
start	Task started. Migration has begun and the system is starting the process
auth	Authorization in Wialon API. The system connects to Wialon to access your data
wlp	Exporting object parameters. The main parameters of objects are exported from Wialon (shows the number of successfully processed parameter files / total number of Wialon objects in this task)
wln	Exporting object events. Events related to objects are exported from Wialon (shows the number of successfully processed event files / total number of Wialon objects in this task).
veh	Creating objects in PILOT. Objects are created in the PILOT system based on the Wialon data (shows the number of successfully created PILOT objects / total number of Wialon objects in this task).
sns	Importing sensors. Transfers data about sensors installed on the objects.
evt	Importing events. All events related to the objects are imported (for example, speeding, refueling, alarms).
rc	Data recalculation: rc1 — tracks: recalculating routes and movement tracks rc2 — binary sensors: recalculating data from sensors with two states (e.g., on/off) rc3 — sensors: recalculating data from all sensors rc4 — odometer: recalculating mileage rc5 — eco: recalculating eco-driving data rc6 — multi-sensors: recalculating data from complex (multi-channel) sensors

Migration status values

Value	Description
