Export/import services and pipelines

[kikito]

Related with #39

It would be useful to have one endpoint to export/import a service's configuration (endpoint, pipeline) so that it can be then imported in a different monitor.

Any progress on this? I'm running into the same memory/disk IO issue I had before.

Hi @interhive,

Currently our development efforts are in the backend, so frontend features such as this one have drifted a bit.

I would like to try to help you anyway. You have an on-premise monitor, right? The last thing I have is that, it was a Debian-based installation (after moving away from Docker, with which you were having trouble).

Can you tell me more about the issues you are having? Maybe there is a simpler solution than exporting everything to a new server.

I moved away from docker to the Debian install. I tried the redis command you gave but, under Wheezy, the redis version didn't support the EVAL command. So, I went ahead and upgraded to Debian Jessie yesterday. After upgrading and wiping out the redis database with the command you gave, I rebuilt the APITools configuration and all seems well now. I wish I knew what caused the sudden performance issue. It really crops up out of nowhere. Tons of memory and CPU usage out of nginx and redis.

Hi! I use apitools in production, but my problem is how export my configuration and pipelines for have a backup. And how to import in another machine. Thanks!

@IsmaABA the easiest way is to use redis backup and import it on different node.
