mc ilm import
Changed in version RELEASE.2022-12-24T15-21-38Z: mc ilm import replaced by mc ilm rule import.
Syntax
The mc ilm import command imports an object lifecycle management
configuration and applies it to a MinIO bucket.
The mc ilm import command imports from STDIN by default. You can
input the contents from a .json file, such as one produced by
mc ilm export.
The following command imports the lifecycle management configuration from
mydata-lifecycle-config.json and applies it to the mydata bucket
on the myminio deployment:
mc ilm import myminio/mydata <> mydata-lifecycle-config.json
The command has the following syntax:
mc [GLOBALFLAGS] ilm import ALIAS < STDIN
Brackets
[]indicate optional parameters.Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
Parameters separated using the pipe
|operator are mutually exclusive.
Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.
Parameters
- ALIAS
Required The alias and full path to the bucket on the MinIO deployment into which to import object lifecycle management rules. For example:
mc ilm import myminio/mydata < bucket-lifecycle.json
Global Flags
This command supports any of the global flags.
Examples
Import the Bucket Lifecycle Management Configuration
The following command imports the bucket lifecycle management
configuration from the bucket-lifecycle.json file:
mc ilm import myminio/mybucket < bucket-lifecycle.json
mc ilm import ALIAS < file.json
Replace
ALIASwith the alias of the MinIO deployment and the bucket into which to import object lifecycle management rules:myminio/mydataReplace
file.jsonwith the name of the file from which to import the lifecycle management rules.
Behavior
Importing Configuration Overrides Existing Rules
mc ilm import replaces the current bucket lifecycle management
rules with those defined in the imported JSON configuration.
S3 Compatibility
The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.
MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
