Migrations
Overview
When switching to a new observability platform, there is the concern of high effort of switch due to the many assets already created in the previous platform.
groundcover's migration flow discovers, translates, and installs your observability setup into groundcover.
Getting Started
Navigate to the migrations page to get started. Note that Admin role is required to access this page.
Select the relevant platform to migrate from and get started.
How it works
Fetch & discover: Provide API keys. groundcover pulls your monitors, dashboards, and data sources.
Automatic translation: All the pulled assets are automatically being converted to groundcover assets within the migration page.
Migrate assets: Review and migrate missing data sources, monitors and dashboards with one click.
API keys are not stored.
