Exporting


The CLI allows you to export all resources in Lenses as requests so that they can be version controlled and imported into another environment.

Export operations are performed on a per resource basis, the directory structure is defined by the CLI whereas a base directory can be provided using the –dir flag.

Processors, connectors, topics and schemas have an additional prefix flag to restrict resources to export. The commands to export the configurations are shown in the table below.
