<p>We are looking into using this migration script but it is not immediately clear what all the migration script handles automatically and what must be done manually.</p>
<p>It appears that at a minimum all of the data sources in the origin instance must be manually re-created in the destination instance and a mapping of all origin IDs to destination IDs must be provided in meta.json. Is there a similar process for users, queries, visualizations, dashboards, and alerts? Or does the migration script automatically re-create those other items in the destination instance, provided all the data source mappings are valid?</p>

<p>This is correct. Before we do the full release I’ll write up some proper docs. But you have the correct idea.</p>
<p>You need to map the data sources manually. Other than that, the script will take care of moving users, queries, visualizations, dashboards, alerts, and favorites. For now it <em>won’t</em> move query snippets, alert destinations or alert destination subscriptions.</p>
<p>Happy to answer further questions in this thread if you have them.</p>
