Chapter 17. Importing a Profile

Abstract

Importing a profile allows you to add a pre-built profile to your fabric. This can be used for testing, disaster recovery, or enforcing standards across an organization.

Overview
Copy link

Importing a profile is a fast way of adding a pre-built configuration to a fabric. The import process recreates the original profile exactly. This is useful for adding standardized profiles to a fabric, recreating a fabric on different hardware, and testing.
The management console imports a profile from a profile archive containing the data needed to recreate the original profile. The data consists of a folder for the profile. The profile's folder contains at least one properties file, org.fusesource.fabric.agent.properties, that configures the container's agent to load the proper bundles. In addition, the profile's folder will contain a copy of any other configuration file used by the profile.
The easiest way to generate a profile archive is by exporting it using the management console. For details, see Section 19.2, “Exporting a Profile”

  4. Click Choose File.
    A file selector will open.
  5. Select the file containing the profile archive to import.
    Important
    If you select an archive containing a copy of a profile that already exists in the fabric, the imported version will overwrite the fabric's copy.

    The dialog will close and the new profile will be listed in the Profiles table.
