It never hurts to back up your work! This page describes how to export the metadata associated with user-created dashboard widgets and user-created reports. The exports go to Data Definition Language (DDL) formatted files. In the event of a system failure during an upgrade, your Solutions Architect can use this file to recover the dashboard widgets and reports you created. Lumeta recommends generating this file before upgrades, especially if you create or update dashboards or custom reports frequently. Store the backup DDL files in a safe place.

This page also explains how to export "Historical" Reports, so called because they report on the past (i.e., historical time) rather than the present (i.e., real time). 

Exporting Historical Reports

Please be aware that this export feature has been retired at release 3.3.2.1 of Lumeta.

Before starting this procedure, do the following:

  1. Browse to Reports > Browse Historical
  2. Select a report.
  3. Click View.
    The report opens in a modal window.
  4. Click Export.
  5. Save the report in your preferred format:  CSV, JSON, NDJSON.

Exporting Metadata to DDL

  1. Browse to User Profile > Settings > Export.

  2. Select a database option from the list and click Export Metadata.

    Your custom dashboards and report configurations are exported to a DLL file.
    Retain this text file for use in the event of a system failure.
