PRTG Manual: Configuration import & export
Use the configuration import and export to move your PRTG MultiBoard configuration from or to a new system.
When you export a configuration, PRTG MultiBoard creates a JSON configuration file that contains server accounts and dashboard widgets configuration data. The configuration file does not include passwords or passhashes. You must enter the credentials for each account when you import the configuration file on a new system.
After you create a configuration file, you can use this feature to import the configuration file on a different system.
If the target system does not have a PRTG MultiBoard instance, you can import the configuration file during installation after you enter your PRTG MultiBoard license.
