When you export a Microsoft Azure visibility manager, Cloud Discovery & Visibility (CDV) exports the file as an unencrypted JSON configuration file. The JSON code below illustrates the style and format of the exported file. If needed, you can modify this configuration file to address differences between systems.
You can use an exported configuration file as a template that you edit to create new
visibility managers (and their jobs) that you can import into CDV. When doing so, note
that all keys in the options section are required, though you can still
edit those values as needed.
Attention: If you want to run the visibility managers in another CDV instance,
BlueCat recommends stopping any running visibility managers or their jobs in the old CDV
instance before importing and running the visibility managers in the new CDV
instance.
Note: The format of the visibility configuration file is shown below.
This format was introduced in CDV v25.2. You can still import configuration files that
were exported from versions prior to v25.2 (with an older format) into CDV
v25.2+.
