Importing


The CLI allows you to import resources from files in Lenses into another environment.

Import is done on a per resource basis, the directory structure defined by the CLI whereas a base directory can be provided by the –dir flag.

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