11/01/2022, 2:28 PMwas able to get the configs from the aribyte instance via the "octavia import all" command
is there a parameter to skip the prompt for each config ?
=> e.g. defaul yes for all questions "do you want to replace it" ?

11/01/2022, 2:33 PMcan you maybe in short explain, what the state_XY files are for ?
Patrik Deke
11/01/2022, 2:33 PMare these references to entries to the internal airbyte db ?
Patrik Deke
11/01/2022, 2:34 PMdo i need to have these or can i migrate with these files to an other freshly new created airbyte instance ?

do you have some best practice from your experience, how to share this config between mutliple stages ? e.g. a dev, test, prod stage ?
