Export the configuration of a Health Log Analytics data input with or
without the related source types to an update set. You can then import the update set to the
target environment.

## Before you begin

For an overview of this feature, see [Migrating Health Log Analytics data input configurations between instances](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/h8zgh5ncl977JqJF4yCXKQ "Export a Health Log Analytics data input and source types configuration as an update set and import it to a different ServiceNow instance. In the target environment, you can use the migrated data input for streaming and processing log data. This functionality saves time and reduces possible errors by avoiding the need to configure the settings again on the target instance.").

Role required: evt_mgmt_admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllHealth Log AnalyticsData InputData Inputs.
2. In the Data Inputs list, select the data input that you want to export.
3. Export the data input to an update set.  
   Note:  
   The exported configuration doesn't include the service instance configured for the data input.
   1. From the Actions on selected rows drop-down menu, choose Export Data Input.  
   2. In the Export Data Input dialog, do one of the following:  
      * Leave the check box selected to include the source types that are associated with the data input in the update set.  
        When the box is selected, the update set will include the following source type-related tables:
        * sn_occ_source_type
        * sn_occ_source_type_structure
        * sn_occ_sources
        * sn_occ_timestamp_formats
        * sn_occ_lexical_keywords
        * sn_occ_log_correlator
        * sn_occ_log_source_retention
        * sn_occ_quick_replacements
        * sn_occ_reconstructors
        * sn_occ_replacements
        {#hla-data-input-migrate__ul_mkg_hmc_nzb}
      * Clear the box to export the data input without the associated source types. For example, if you want to reuse the data input configuration, but configure the source types from scratch.When the box is clear,
        the update set will not include the source type-related tables.

      {#hla-data-input-migrate__ul_zkf_xms_v5b}  
      Note:  
      You can export source types separately. For more information, see [Export source types to an update set](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/sHCIaX~MbTIpYRYTikM91w "Export source types to an update set separate from the Health Log Analytics data input configuration. You can then import the update set to the target environment.").
   3. Select Continue.

   {#hla-data-input-migrate__substeps_gtt_qms_v5b}  
   The data input, with or without the source types, is exported to an update set.  
   Note:  
   An update set can act as the parent for multiple child update sets.
4. Select Download update set to download the update set to the instance.  
   The update set is downloaded as an XML file.

Import the update set to the required ServiceNow instance. For
more information, see [Import a data input to a target instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Z7pTgzlkuaLi5EGS999mEg "Import a Health Log Analytics data input configuration that you've exported from another instance as an update set.").
