Migration from Demo to Production via REST API (Instana K3s Self-Hosted Edition) 

Fri November 07, 2025 08:28 AM

This demo video shows how we migrated from an Instana Demo environment to a Production environment using the Instana REST API.
During the migration, we exported all the necessary configurations — including applications, custom dashboards, and settings — directly through the API.
Then, after a clean installation of the Production instance, we imported those configurations back, fully automating the process.

The result was a smooth and efficient migration with no manual intervention and no downtime.
This example demonstrates the power and flexibility of the Instana REST API, and how automation can simplify complex migration tasks.

Hi @Uwe Baumbach! Sure — here’s the repo with the import and export scripts: (link).
It’s a bit bare-bones at the moment, and I still have plans to improve it, but it should give you a good starting point.

Let me know if you need anything else!

This looks great, is there a possibility to share these import and export scripts you used ?
