Import and export configuration templates
You can export the configuration templates from any NetScaler Console appliance and import the file to the same or other NetScaler Console appliance at any time in the future. The configuration templates data (such as configuration commands, variable definitions, and parameters) are not lost.
You can export the configuration templates to a .json file format and save it in the local folder. You can import configuration template .json files into NetScaler Console appliances which you might have exported from the same or other NetScaler Console appliance or created manually.
To export the configuration templates:
-
Navigate to Infrastructure > Configuration > Configuration Templates.
-
Click Add to create the configuration template.
-
On the Create Configuration Template page, specify the configuration template name, and choose the instance type. Under Configuration Editor, select configuration source as Configuration Template from the drop-down menu. You can drag the existing configuration templates to the configuration editor. Click OK.
-
Navigate to Infrastructure > Configuration > Configuration Templates to view the templates created in the list of Configuration Templates.
-
Select the newly created configuration template and click the Export button.
The corresponding configuration template gets downloaded on your local system in .json format.
To import the configuration templates:
-
Navigate to Infrastructure > Configuration > Configuration Templates and click the Import button. Select the path where you have the .json files of the configuration template and upload the .json files. It is highly recommended to upload the .json files that you have exported already.
-
You can also import the configuration template using File option on Configuration Editor. Select File from the drop-down menu in Configuration Editor and Choose File (.json files) from your local system and upload the configuration template .json files.
Note
You can import the configuration templates only if the file is saved in the .json format. If you import the configuration templates other than .json files, from your local system, it shows an error and fails the import of the files.
