Exporting Dashboards
You can export your Dashboard dashboards.
Export creates an export file that you can then use to import dashboards to MashZone NextGen Dashboard.
Procedure
1. Open a command window and move to the MashZoneNG-install/prestocli/bin folder.
2. Enter this command:
padmin exportDashboards -i identifier [-f output-file] [-l prestoURL]
-u username -w password [-v] [-o]
-i identifier: mandatory dashboard identifier. It can be "id=", "name=" or "all", enclosed in quots.
-i "name=dashboardname": If there are multiple dashboards with the same name then only the first founded dashboard will be exported.
-i "id=43243244434432": The dashboard id (Guid) is unique in the MashZone NextGen system.
-i "all": Export of all dashboards for that user.
-f output-file: an optional path and name for the export file to put dashboards. If omitted, this generates an output zip file in the folder where this command is executed:
Single export with option -i "id=3456" or "name=name" create a new file with name "name_guid.zip" Multiple export with option -i "all" create a new file dashboard-export-timestamp.zip This file must not already exist, unless you also use the -o option.
-l prestoUrl: is optional. Use this if the
MashZone NextGen Server is remote or if it is not running in Tomcat on the default Tomcat port. If you omit this option, this defaults to
http://localhost:8080/presto/esd/api.
-u username: is the
MashZone NextGen username to log in with. This account
must have
MashZone NextGen administrator permissions.
-w password: is the
MashZone NextGen password to log in with.
-v: is an optional flag to turn on verbose logging.
-o: an optional flag to overwrite an existing export file. If you omit this option, the output file must not already exist.
Once the export command completes successfully, you can use the output file to import dashboards to MashZone NextGen Dashboard.
Permissions for each Dashboard were automatically stored into the zip file. If there are not any permissions assigned to the dashboard an empty permission file is stored.
There is also an information about the dashboard creator stored in the zip file.
