This plugin provides the possibility of saving and restore graylog environment configurations like registered user, dashboard, input etc.etc. To do this task the plugin uses directly mongorestore and mongodump command. At the moment is supported only unix-like os and dump can be stored only on filesystem and not on other Storage Service like s3 etc.etc
Any feedback are wellcome !
Required Graylog version: 2.1 and later

and place the .jar file in your Graylog plugin directory. The plugin directory
is the plugins/ folder relative from your graylog-server directory by default
and can be configured in your graylog.conf file.
