Replicate an organization

The state of an organization consists of metadata (dashboards, buckets, and other resources) and data (time-series). An organization’s state at a point in time can be replicated to another organization by copying both metadata and data. To replicate the state of an organization:

1. Create a new organization using the InfluxDB Cloud sign up page. Use a different email address for the new organization.

2. Replicate metadata.
   Use an InfluxDB template to migrate metadata resources. Export all resources, like dashboards and buckets, to a template manifest with influx export all. Then, apply the template to the new organization.

3. Replicate data.
   Use one of the methods below to copy data to the new organization:

   • Export data to CSV
   • Write data with Flux

4. Re-invite users.

Export data to CSV

1. Perform a query to return all specified data.
2. Save the results as CSV (to a location outside of InfluxDB Cloud).
3. Write the CSV data into a bucket in the new organization using the influx write command.

Write data with Flux

Perform a query to return all specified data. Write results directly to a bucket in the new organization with the Flux to() function.
