SYNOPSIS

confluentdbutil [options] [dump|restore] <path>

DESCRIPTION

confluentdbutil is a utility to export/import the confluent attributes to/from json files. The path is a directory that holds the json version. In order to perform restore, the confluent service must not be running. It is required to indicate how to treat the usernames/passwords are treated in the json files (password protected, removed from the files, or unprotected).

OPTIONS

-p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
If specified, information such as usernames and passwords will be encrypted using the given password.
-i, --interactivepassword
Prompt for password.
-r, --redact
Indicates to replace usernames and passwords with a dummy string rather than included.
-u, --unprotected
The keys.json file will include the encryption keys without any protection.
-s, --skipkeys
This specifies to dump the encrypted data without dumping the keys needed to decrypt it. This is suitable for an automated incremental backup, where an earlier password protected dump has a protected keys.json file, and only the protected data is needed. keys do not change and as such they do not require incremental backup.
