Export&Import Tracking Code Matomo tables

General questions
1

Hi all!

I am fairly new to Piwik/Matomo. My task is to move our Piwik to another server. It is not important to keep the historical tracking data. As we have many websites i want to use the same tracking code that was used until now to track the websites on our new server?

Is there a way to export&import tracking code?

Or another approach: which tables do i have to export from phpmyadmin to set up a piwik with the same settings on a new server? I dont want to export&import the complete dataset as it is more than 13gb big, also dont want to change the tracking code if possible.

Thanks!

Hi,

I’d recommend you to simply export all tables. If you really don’t care about the data, you can leave out the piwik_archive_blob_* tables as they contain the aggregated reports.
In theory you should also be able to empty the piwik_log tables which contain the raw list of visits, but I can’t promise it will work.

Best is to try it out on a staging server.
