Importing/Exporting Configuration Across eG Managers
Multiple eG managers are common in many IT infrastructures. Using industry-standard best practices, administrators of such environments may have fine-tuned the configuration (tests, thresholds, data cleanup frequencies, etc.) of one of the eG managers, and may want to apply the same settings to the other managers. To achieve this, administrators may have to painstakingly document the ‘ideal’ configuration and then manually login to each manager to apply the documented settings one by one. To reduce the manual effort and time involved in this exercise, eG Enterprise enables administrators to quickly apply the configuration of one manager to other managers at one go, using a simple export-import routine. With this capability, administrators can use the eG management interface to quickly export and import the following configurations between managers:
To export the configuration settings of a manager – say, Manager A – do the following:
Select the Export/Import Configuration option from the Miscellaneous menu of the Admin tile. Figure 27 will appear.
By default, the Export configuration tab page of Figure 27 will open. This tab page allows you to choose the configuration settings that you want to export from the current eG manager. As stated earlier, the following configurations are available for export:
To select a configuration, click on the check box corresponding to it. Since some configurations have been grouped under a head, selecting a group head automatically selects all configurations under that head. For instance, selecting the Tests group, automatically selects the Default configuration and Enabled / Disabled tests for component type options. To deselect all displayed configuration settings, click on the Deselect all button. To select all displayed configuration settings, click on the Select all button.
Once all the required configuration settings have been selected, click on the Export button to begin exporting the chosen settings. eG Enterprise exports the configuration settings you select to a zip file, which is by default named in the following format: <Fully qualified host name of eG manager>_eGconfig_<Date of export>.zip. This zip file will by default be downloaded to the default download destination that you have configured in your browser. Once the export completes successfully, the contents of this zip file will be displayed on-screen for you to take a look (see Figure 28).

To enable another manager – say, Manager B - to import this configuration, follow the steps below:
Figure 29 will appear. This time, click on the Import configuration tab page in Figure 29 to open it.
Figure 30 will then appear. With the help of Figure 30, you can choose the specific configuration settings you want to import. To select a configuration, click on the check box corresponding to it. Since some configurations have been grouped under a head, selecting a group head automatically selects all configurations under that head. For instance, selecting the Tests group, automatically selects the Default configuration and Enabled / Disabled tests for component type options. To deselect all displayed configuration settings, click on the Deselect button. To select all displayed configuration settings, click on the Select all button.

If import is successful, a message to that effect will appear.
