Export dashboards, data feeds, and aliases

You can export dashboards, data feeds, and aliases using the MashZone NextGen Admin Console, for example, to share your dashboards with other users.

You can export all existing artifacts of a type at once or individual artifacts. The artifacts are exported including the corresponding permissions. The exported artifacts are downloaded and stored in ZIP files in the client system.

Prerequisites

You have administration privileges.

Procedure

  1. Open the MashZone NextGen Admin Console.
  2. Click Import/Export -> Import/Export in the Administration menu.
  3. Select the artifact type you want to export from the Type drop-down menu.
  4. To additionally export the relevant JDBC drivers for the aliases, enable the Include JDBC drivers option. The option is only available for aliases.
  5. Click Export all to export all available artifacts of the selected type.

    All artifacts are stored in one ZIP file.

  6. To export a specific artifact, you can specify the corresponding name, or for dashboards and data feeds the GUID. For aliases, you can specify the alias type instead of the GUID, for example, aliases of type EVENT or PPM.
    1. Enable the Name option if you want to identify the artifact by name.

      Note that there may be multiple dashboards or data feeds with the same name. A name of an artifact is not unique in MashZone NextGen. All dashboards or data feeds with the same name are exported.

    2. Enable the GUID option if you want to identify the artifact by GUID.

      A GUID is unique in MashZone NextGen.

    3. Enable the Type option if you want to identify the alias by type.

      All aliases of the same type, such as EVENT or PPM, are exported.

    4. Enter the name, GUID, or type in the Identifier input box.

      An automatic completion function helps you to find the desired artifact and shows the relevant artifacts.

  7. Click Export.

The selected artifacts are exported.
