Hey guys I need a way to copy customer match rules from my test environment and propagate them to my stage and production environments. Is there a way to do this? The import/export features described in the docs is not very clear on the steps and results.

thanks

Hi Curtis,

Currently there is no specific way to only export custom match rules defined under Configure -> Instrumentation -> Transaction detection screen. However you should be able export and import application configuration as follows, and the export application config contains the custom match rules, and when you import the exported app.xml , the imported application will contain the custom match rules as well, which meets your requirement.
Please try as follows:

To export an application configuration

1. Either Click "Applications" in the left navigation menu to list all application and select "Export" option from context menu on the application selected Or navigate to the application dashboard of the selected application , select "Export" option from the Actions menu at the header section 

2. In the Application Export window,

3. Click Export.
AppDynamics creates an XML file containing application configurations.

Now login the target controller ,and select "Import application" option and browse the exported application(app.xml) in earlier step and try to import xml file, and now check the custom rules under Configure -> transaction detection screen under the new import application.

Let us know if that helps

Thanks,

Arun
