Exporting and Importing Outbound Settings

As a
VMware Aria Operations
admin, you can backup the content before upgrading, export all the outbound plugin configurations, and import it into a different
VMware Aria Operations
instance. You can also export the content from
VMware Aria Operations
on-prem to
VMware Aria Operations
.
Any user with "Manage" Outbound Settings permission can export and import outbound plugin configurations.
  1. Export an outbound setting.
    1. From the left menu, click
      Configure
      Alerts
      , and in the right pane, click
      Outbound Settings
      .
    2. Select the outbound settings that you want to export and click the horizontal ellipses and select
      Export
      .
    3. Setup a new password to export data. The password should be at least 14 characters long.
    4. Click
      Export
      .
      The outbound setting data is exported in the .json format. A password is used to encrypt the data in the file using the AES algorithm with 128 bit key. Use the same password while importing this file.

      to select the
      .json
