Import source types that you've exported separate from the Health Log Analytics data input
configuration.

## 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.").

Before performing this procedure, export the source types to an update set. 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.").
