Import and Export Services

This topic describes two ways to import and export services: From the service registry and from the Apstra Flow dashboard.

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.
    Analytics interface showing Service Registry under Telemetry with 1 filter applied. Bar chart icon highlighted in vertical menu.
  2. Select your service from the registry table (in this example, Power), then click the Export button.

  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.

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.

  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.
