Import and Export Services

Export and Import a Service from the Service Registry

The service registry, which holds the service schema and the collector, allows you to export and import services. In our example, we're exporting one collector, but a service can include multiple collectors.

To export a service from the service registry:

  1. From the left navigation pane in the Apstra GUI, navigate to Analytics > Service Registry.
    User interface of analytics software with sidebar icons. Bar chart icon highlights Analytics section. Breadcrumb shows Analytics > Service Registry. Search bar with filters and table displaying service data like Chassis_Alarms and storage info.
  2. Select your service from the registry table (in this example, Power), then click the Export button.
    Table displaying services with columns: Service Name, Storage Schema Path, Description, Builtin, and Actions. Power service highlighted with arrow pointing to Export icon.
  3. The schema that you export contains the service schema and collector info, as you can see in the example below. You can then import this file into a different instance.
    JSON schema for Export Power showing an empty description field; application_schema with PSM required and properties: Allocated_Capacity, Max_Capacity, State, Thermal_Output, and partially visible Used_Capacity. Save As File button at bottom.

Exporting and Importing a Service from the Apstra Flow Dashboard (Recommended)

You can export and import a service from the Apstra Flow dashboard. The dashboard holds the probe definitions.

To export a service from the dashboard:

  1. From the dashboard table, select your probe (Power monitoring, for example). Then click the Export button to see the power monitoring dashboard.
    Dashboard interface for Power Monitoring showing navigation breadcrumbs, metrics graphs for power draw and thermal output over 7 days, and a table of power usage efficiency for top systems. A highlighted Export button is present.
  2. Exporting your dashboard generates a schema with the probe information as shown in the following example. You can then import this file to a different instance.
