Import JSON configuration

You can import an existing adapter configuration from a JSON file to quickly populate the Adapter Configuration Utility.

Importing a configuration can reduce setup time, help maintain consistency across adapter deployments, and simplify the migration of settings between environments.

Before selecting a JSON file, review the imported configuration before applying it to the adapter. The import fails if the JSON file is not properly formatted. If the import fails, an error message displays indicating which fields are invalid.

If the configuration file is larger than 64 MB, use the Edgecmd utility to export the configuration. Use the following Edgecmd command to import the configuration:

edgecmd set application -port <adapterPort> -file <filePath>.json

To import an adapter JSON configuration:

1. Select the vertical dots ( ) on the adapters main page and choose Import JSON Configuration to display the pop-up window.

   

2. Choose Select File to browse and select the JSON file on your machine.

   Note: Importing a configuration overwrites all existing adapter settings. Any unsaved or current configuration changes will be replaced.

3. Select Import to upload the settings into the current adapter configuration. The utility returns to the main page.

   Note: Importing large configurations may require several minutes to complete.

4. Open the Components drop-down and verify that the adapter information has loaded correctly.
