Exporting a Parameter Template

Scenarios

Exporting instance parameters:

  • You can export parameters of a DB instance as a new parameter template for future use. To apply the exported parameter template to new DB instances, see Applying a Parameter Template.
  • You can also export the parameter information (including parameter names, values, and descriptions) of a DB instance to a CSV file for viewing and analyzing details.

Exporting Instance Parameters

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > Relational Database Service.
  3. On the Instances page, click the target DB instance.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Parameters. On the displayed page, click Export above the parameter list.

    • Exporting to a custom template
      In the displayed dialog box, configure required information and click OK.
      • The template name must consist of 1 to 64 characters. It can contain only uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.).
      • The description consists of a maximum of 256 characters and cannot contain carriage return characters or the following special characters: >!<"&'=

      After the parameter template is exported, a new template is generated in the list in the Custom Templates tab on the Parameter Templates page.

    • Exporting to a file

      The parameter template information (parameter names, values, and descriptions) of the DB instance is exported to a CSV file. In the displayed dialog box, enter the file name and click OK.
