Export chaos experiment
This topic describes how to export an experiment by downloading the experiment manifest, uploading a manifest to create an experiment and exporting an experiment for future use.
Prerequisites
You can export chaos experiments for future use. While creating or running an experiment, Chaos Studio automatically saves it for future access through the Chaos Experiments sidebar. You can also download the experiment as a manifest file to your machine or save it in a ChaosHub.
Download Experiment Manifest File
-
To download the manifest file for an experiment, select the Chaos Experiments sidebar option. You can access all the experiments that have been created or run in the past.
-
To export an experiment, select the
⋮icon against the name of the experiment. Select Download Manifest. This downloads the experiment file to your machine.
-
You can directly upload this manifest file while creating a new experiment to use it as a template for the new experiment. You can, as usual, provide the Name, Infrastructure type, and Infrastructure for the chaos experiment and select Upload YAML. You can upload the manifest file from your machine or drag and drop the file.
An efficient way to save, manage, and distribute the experiments as templates is to use ChaosHubs.
Add an Experiment to ChaosHub
-
To add an experiment to ChaosHub, select the
⋮icon against the name of the experiment. -
Select Add to Chaos Hub. Then, add an experiment name, optionally a description and a category tag, and choose the ChaosHub to add the experiment to from the list of added chaos hubs.
-
Select Save. Now, you should be able to see this experiment added to your chaos hub. You can access it and use it as a template for your new experiments.
