Mango Dashboard Transfer/Export To Another Server.
-
All,
I have Mango installed on a Azure Win server (Mango V4.2). We have a ton of work and dashboard completed and working.
We just spun up a new more powerful Azure Windows Server and updated it to Mango V4.5. I want to be able to copy/export any and all my dashboards, data sources, watch lists, etc from v4.2. I would like to do this just as an archiving exercise and to also import/move the data into any new Mango instance going forward. Yes we are doing multiple full backups daily.I really just want to way to move an entire set of files associated with a dashboard or customer to another Mango Instance if needed.
Thank you for the help in advance. -
@SkyeControls Have you tried backup and restore on new Server? I do not recommend backup the configuration only because you face some problem with the Configuration file encode (not UTF-8) if the data point/data source use language not supported by ANSI format.

@SkyeControls
At @tungthanh500 mentioned the best method to restore/move your mango configuration is to use SQL and NoSQL backups.
If you use the JSON config backup you will not be able to restore data history.One thing to mention is that the backups do not include any files from the files store. They will need to be moved manually.

Hi @CraigWeb, as I pointed out earlier, the format for JSON doesn't support Vietnamese characters so my JSON configuration backup cannot be restore. Is there any way to format the JSON to UTF-8?
-
@tungthanh500 It should accept any characters. Do you have this problem if you export a file and directly import it without editing it? can you share a snippet of a JSON file that has bad chars so I can test?
If you are editing the file your text editor could be adding a BOM to the start of the file. Please check for that and if it is there remove it.
