Import an InsightIQ datastore. Importing a datastore can be used to restore an instance of InsightIQ or to import data from another instance of InsightIQ.
Prerequisites
An exported datastore from InsightIQ 4.1.x or later.
Enough free space on the server for the datastore that is being imported, plus an additional 10 GB.
About this task
To import a datastore, use the following steps:
Steps
In the InsightIQ web application, click the
Settings tab and then
Monitored Clusters.
Click
Import Datastore.
In the
Import Datastore dialog box, select where to import data from.
To import data from data on a local directory on the InsightIQ Linux system or virtual machine, select
Import from local directory and specify a path that contains the export data.
To import data from a directory on an NFS server, select
Import from NFS server and specify the address of the NFS server and a path that contains the export data.
NOTE: You can specify either an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. Specify IPv6 addresses without surrounding brackets.
InsightIQ displays a list of export files that are contained in the specified directory.
Select the export file that you want to import and then click
Next.
InsightIQ displays the list of clusters that are contained in the file.
In the
Import column, select the clusters that you want to import.
InsightIQ imports only the data that is related to clusters that you specify.
NOTE: If InsightIQ has existing data for a cluster in the import file, you cannot select that cluster. To import data from a cluster that has monitored data, delete the datastore for that cluster. You can then import data for that cluster.
Optional: Optional: To begin monitoring a cluster after the import process completes, select the checkbox in the
Begin Monitoring column for that cluster, and then type the password of the InsightIQ user account in the
InsightIQ User Password column.
Click
Import.
Click
Yes.
NOTE: The import process might take several minutes and, while the import is in progress, you cannot perform the following actions:
Starting an additional datastore import.
Exporting data from a datastore.
Adding a cluster for InsightIQ to monitor.
