(First mentionned here: import piwik stats to another piwik installation)

The basic idea is to be able to selectively export:

  • One or more sites (logs & archives)
  • Site related configuration such as Goals
  • Administrative data (users, general settings)

And be able to selectively import them in a Piwik instance.

The export/import mechanism could be implemented with a simple archive or through the API.

Here are some use cases:

  • Migrate one particular website from one Piwik instance to another without manipulating the database
  • Being able to save settings before experimenting with them
  • Apply settings across multiple Piwik instances

I would like to second this motion, and add the following subfeature:

  • Split-file imports: As many developers have already pointed out, the export/import feature has not been available due to the size of Piwik databases. Still, the need for export/import is present, and should be available. Basically, a functionality like BigDump (http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php) would make it possible to import larger amounts of data without breaking import-limits or relying on bad connections with a server.

Hi,
I saw a script that may help develop this feature:

It's a bit surprising to see an important feature like this having "low" priority. Messing around with piwik tables in phpMyAdmin isn't that much fun at all!

Is it currently possible to import a site from Piwik A into Piwik B? Does the script mentioned above work using Piwik 2.5.0? Is there any instruction available about how to do such a migration using phpMyAdmin?

The plugin has just been released: http://plugins.piwik.org/SiteMigration

It requires the latest 2.9 beta to work though.
