Support export/import of all elements. Not only by label.

[mmigala]

Hello,

would it be possible to add support for export/import of all elements in Azure app configuration ? Right now we have around 10 labels in our Azure app config. It's real pain to have to export them one label at a time which is really time consuming and not user friendly. The (No Label) option only exports elements with no Label. There should be option like 'All'.

Regards.

Hi @mmigala, can you please help me to understand your scenario better?

1. JSON file doesn't have a concept of the label. When you export multiple labels, there could be multiple values for the same key. How do you like the exported file look like?
2. Do you mind to share why you need to export config to files repeatedly?

Hey @zhenlan

I don't care about the format as much as the possiblity to easily export/import my Azure app configuration in a single step. If there is such a funcionality as export I don't see why I have to do it in 9-10 steps which is required if I have labels. the same goes for export to different Azure app configuration (doesn't have to be a file)

Regards

@mmigala agreed. When exporting to another App Configuration store, we should allow exporting all labels with one click. Thanks for the suggestion.

Import/export of all key-values between two App Configuration stores is supported in Azure CLI (2.0.81 or later).

az appconfig kv export --destination appconfig --name {PrimaryStore} --dest-name {SecondaryStore} --label * --preserve-labels -y

It would be really nice if we could import/export to a file, with labels!

Is it possible to import/export from one subscription to another using az appconfig kv export ? I see there is a --subscription field but it seems that it looks for the primary store and destionation in that subscription.

@markleavesley, please see this issue for importing/exporting to a file with all labels: https://github.com/Azure/AppConfiguration/issues/552#issuecomment-964584196

@xzuttz, yes, that's possible with a command like this:

az appconfig kv export -d appconfig --endpoint <SourceStoreEndpoint> --auth-mode login --dest-endpoint <SourceStoreEndpoint> --dest-auth-mode login

It looks like this issue has been resolved. Avani has also provided details on file export capabilities. Please let us know if anything else comes up.

[zhenlan]

This issue is to track the portal work.

[jimmyca15]

This capability exists in the Azure CLI. Re-opening as work is ongoing for inclusion in the Azure Portal.

[xzuttz]

Thanks, works with cli!

For example I have 20 labels, and all have some value XXX that I want to rename to YYY, so having export all would be nice because then I could do global find/replace and re-import all.

Would be nice to also export not by key prefix but by value "like" to minimize file size.
