Import or Export Entities Between Appliances

To share certain configured information from one appliance to another, you can import or export the information as entities.

To repeat configuring the same entities on multiple appliances, you can configure them on one appliance, export them, and then import to other appliances.

List of Entities That Are Imported or Exported from the GUI

You can import and export the following entities from the GUI:

  • Alert Templates
  • Alerts
  • Custom Reports
  • Devices and Device Groups
  • Search Filters
  • Suites

List of Entities That Are Imported or Exported from the CLI

You can import or export the following entities only from the CLI:

  • Advanced Dashboard
  • Aggregation Rules
  • Bloks
  • Data Models
  • Enrichment lists
  • Groups and nested groups 
  • Triggers

To export these entities, the Advanced Features must enabled on the Administration > System Settings > General tab > Advanced Features Settings section. See Advanced Features. You can import entities when Advanced Features is disabled; however, you cannot view them until you enable Advanced Features.
