Import and Export Configuration Content

If you are using Oracle Logging Analytics in multiple regions, then you can export and re-import your configuration content. You can also use this if you want to store a copy of your definitions outside of Oracle Logging Analytics.

If you want to use OCI CLI to perform these tasks, then ensure to use the latest version of the tool. For the command syntax and parameters, see Command Line Reference: content-import and Command Line Reference: content-export.

Import Configuration Content

To import source or parser definitions:

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Observability & Management. Under Logging Analytics, click Administration. The Administration Overview page opens.

  2. Click Import Configuration Content.

    The Import Configuration Content dialog box opens.

  3. Upload the configuration file by dragging and dropping it to the specific area or select it by specifying the path. You can optionally choose to overwrite the existing sources and parsers if they have the same name.

  4. Click Import.

Export the Content from Logging Analytics

You can export the log parsers and user-defined sources to an XML file using the Oracle Logging Analytics user interface.

Topics:

Export the Sources

When you export a source, the associated parsers, extended field definitions and labels are also exported to the XML file.

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Observability & Management. Under Logging Analytics, click Administration. The Administration Overview page opens.

    The administration resources are listed in the left hand navigation pane under Resources. Click Sources.

    The Sources page is displayed.

  2. Click the Actions icon Actions icon in the row of the source that you want to export. Click Export Definition.

Unzip the zip file to recover the XML file containing the log source that you selected for export.

Export the Parsers

Note

When you export a source, the associated parsers, extended field definitions and labels are also exported to the XML file. Exporting a parser selectively, with the steps listed below, is useful when the parser is not yet used in a source.

    The administration resources are listed in the left hand navigation pane under Resources. Click Parsers.
