# chronoctl migrate

The `migrate` command lets you migrate your Chronograf configuration store.

By default, Chronograf is delivered with BoltDB as a data store. For information on migrating from BoltDB to an etcd cluster as a data store, see [Migrating to a Chronograf HA configuration](/chronograf/v1/administration/migrate-to-high-availability).

## Usage

```
chronoctl migrate [flags]
```

## Flags

| Flag |  | Description | Input type |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| -f | --from | Full path to BoltDB file or etcd (e.g. bolt:///path/to/chronograf-v1.db or etcd://user:pass@localhost:2379 (default: chronograf-v1.db) | string |
| -t | --to | Full path to BoltDB file or etcd (e.g. bolt:///path/to/chronograf-v1.db or etcd://user:pass@localhost:2379 (default: etcd://localhost:2379) | string |

#### Provide etcd authentication credentials

If authentication is enabled on `etcd`, use the standard URI basic authentication format to define a username and password. For example:

```sh
etcd://username:password@localhost:2379
```

#### Provide etcd TLS credentials

If TLS is enabled on `etcd`, provide your TLS certificate credentials using the following query parameters in your etcd URL:

-   **cert**: Path to client certificate file or PEM file
-   **key**: Path to client key file
-   **ca**: Path to trusted CA certificates

```sh
etcd://127.0.0.1:2379?cert=/tmp/client.crt&key=/tst/client.key&ca=/tst/ca.crt
```
