Duplicating complex configuration profiles in Miradore for minor changes can be a time-consuming task, but you can reduce the effort with this simple method.
Take these steps to create a new configuration profile based on an existing complex one, with only a few changes. Instead of going through the configuration profile wizard again, export the profile, update the name and identifier in the JSON, and import the file to create a new profile based on the original.
- Export your configuration profile.
- Open the JSON file in an editor of your choice.
- Find the
"Name"key and change its value.
The value of the"Name"key is the name of your configuration profile in Miradore. - Find the
"ProfileIdentifier"key and change its value to a different universally unique identifier (UUID).
Use a UUID generator (for example, https://www.uuidgenerator.net/) to create a new UUID. - Save your JSON file and import it into Miradore.
- Optionally, edit the configuration profile as follows:
- Navigate to Management > Configuration profiles and double-click the configuration profile you imported to open its page.
- Select Edit at the bottom of the page and change the desired settings, then select Save to confirm your changes.
Results: A new configuration profile with the same or similar settings as the original is added to your Miradore site.
