Export JSON configuration

Export the current adapter configuration to a JSON file for backup, reuse, or deployment to another adapter. Exporting a configuration allows you to preserve adapter settings, share configurations between environments, and create a baseline before making changes.

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

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

To export the adapter configuration, select the vertical dots ( ) on the adapters main page and choose Export Configuration as JSON.

Updates to the configuration that have not been saved will not be included in the exported JSON file.

The utility downloads the JSON configuration file to your local machine.

Note: Data discoveries are not included when exporting a configuration. Additionally, any secrets created using the Manage Secrets option are also not exported. However, secrets created in a facet, such as Data Source, are included but they will not work unless the same secrets are set up on the machine.
