# Consul KV Import
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul kv import`
|
|
|
|
The `kv import` command is used to import KV pairs from the JSON representation
|
|
generated by the `kv export` command.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `consul kv import [options] [DATA]`
|
|
|
|
#### API Options
|
|
|
|
@include 'http_api_options_client.mdx'
|
|
|
|
@include 'http_api_options_server.mdx'
|
|
|
|
#### KV Import Options
|
|
|
|
- `-prefix` - Key prefix for imported data. The default value is empty meaning
|
|
root. Added in Consul 1.10.
|
|
|
|
#### Enterprise Options
|
|
|

@include 'http_api_namespace_options.mdx'
|
|
|
|
@include 'http_api_partition_options.mdx'
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
To import from a file, prepend the filename with `@`:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ consul kv import @values.json
|
|
# Output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To import from stdin, use `-` as the data parameter:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ cat values.json | consul kv import -
|
|
# Output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pass the JSON directly, however care must be taken with shell
|
|
escaping:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ consul kv import "$(cat values.json)"
|
|
# Output
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To import under prefix, use `-prefix` option:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ cat values.json | consul kv import -prefix=sub/dir/ -
|
|
# Output
|
|
```
