Importing an application or environment

Edit online

After exporting an application or environment definition (.tar file), you can import it into a new Concert instance as part of a migration or replication process. Upon import, the data is reassessed and appears in your Inventory and Arena view.

Attention: To ensure the security and integrity of your organization's data and resources, it is recommended that you get approval from your CISO or security team before exporting, storing, or sharing Concert data.

Before you begin

Instructions

You can import an application or environment definition using the Concert API or from the user interface (UI).

To import an application or environment definition file using the API:

Use the following command to import a file Concert instance:

curl -k -X POST 'https://<concert-domain>/ingestion/api/v1/import_files' \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
     -H 'InstanceId: <InstanceId>' \
     -F 'file=@<filepath>'
To import an application definition file from the UI:
  1. In your Concert instance, click Inventory > Application inventory from the navigation.
  2. Click Define application > From exported file.
  3. Upload the relevant exported .tar file from the workstation.
  4. Click Upload.

To import an environment definition file from the UI:
Warning: If the name of the environment you import to Concert is the same as an existing environment, then the existing environment details get overwritten with new one.
