Exporting Configuration to a File

This feature provides a simple way to save the configuration of a PATROL Agent by exporting it to a file for reuse later. The configuration saved in a file can then be loaded onto a different PATROL Agent through the PATROL interface. The main benefits are that it:

•	Eliminates the trouble of manually configuring Monitoring Studio on another PATROL Agent all over again

•	Ensures both configurations are identical

Monitoring Studio offers you two options:

•	To export the entire Monitoring Studio configuration

•	To export an application monitoring configuration

Exporting the entire Monitoring Studio configuration

This option allows you to export the entire Monitoring Studio configuration to one or more configuration files.

Right-click the main Monitoring Studio icon > KM commands > Configuration > Export Configuration

WIZ_ExportConfig_1aAppSelection

Configuration Export Wizard — Application/Container Selection Page

If you select the option "Include Monitoring Studio global settings", you will arrive at this panel:

WIZ_ExportConfig_2IncludeGlobalSettings

Configuration Export Wizard — Application/Container Selection Page

Select the settings you wish to export and click Next.

Enter the path and file name of the file that will contain the PATROL Agent’s configuration:

WIZ_ExportConfig_3ExportPath

Configuration Export Wizard — Configuration File Location Page

•	Export configuration to: Enter the path and file name for the configuration file.

•	Split the file in smaller parts if necessary: Select this option if you feel that your pconfig version may not support large files.

Click Finish.

A successful export of the configuration will bring-up this panel:

WIZ_ExportConfig_4Success

Configuration Export Wizard — Export Confirmation Message

By default, the configuration file is created in the "%PATROL_HOME%\config" directory and named "Export_SW_Sentry.cfg".

Exporting an application monitoring configuration

Exporting one or several application monitoring configurations works exactly the same way as exporting the entire application. The main difference is that only the information relevant to the application monitoring will be saved.

Right-click the main Monitoring Studio icon > KM commands > Configuration > Export Configuration and select the application-monitoring to export from the drop down list:

WIZ_ExportConfig_5AppSelectionGlobal

Configuration Export Wizard — Application/Container Selection Page

Or right-click an application or sub-application container > KM commands > Export Configuration.

Go through the same procedure of entering the destination file path and file name etc. as displayed above for exporting the entire configuration. A confirmation message will pop-up once the configuration has been successfully exported.
