Passwords

Passwords Saved in PhixFlow

Exported files do not include any passwords from the PhixFlow system, such as passwords for:

  • user accounts
  • accessing external data, for example via HTTP using file or HTTP collectors and exporters or FTP collectorssites.
Note

If you are planning to import an exported configuration to another PhixFlow instance, you may need to update the passwords in that instance.

Providing a Password to Encrypt the Exported File

By default, when you download an exported file, it is encrypted. You must provide a password that you can then use when you import the file into another instance. 

...

In addition to being able to export items ready for import to another instance, you can also copy items into the same instance using the copy option.

In PhixFlow, items are often associated with other items. For example, a stream is run by an analysis task or a style is used by a component. When making a copy, PhixFlow does not update associated items. The following table provides some examples:


Item copiedAssociated itemsWhat happens to associated items
StreamA is copied to streamB.An analysis task runs streamA.The analysis task is not changed and only runs streamA.
Shared-style1 is copied to shared-style2.There are 10 components that use shared-style1.

Shared-style2 has no components.

The 10 components that use shared-style1 are not changed.
