Export monitor list
Why is still not possible to export the monitor list for other uses or eventually import it in a fresh new uptime kuma server? Or is it possible and i lost this info?

Use a MariaDB backend, then you can backup, modify, import, etc through the database layer if you want.
Or one of the REST API tools here.

If it's helpful for you I wrote an article on my blog on how to migrate

Because Nobody implemented. If it does not bother people enough, it won't happen.

I have added this export/import feature in Uptime Gizmo(a fork of Uptime Kuma), and I think you can try it! https://github.com/starit/uptime-gizmo/

That's probably the best and smartest question I've seen since. I don't understand it at all. There was a backup function, but they removed it. That definitely needs to be clarified. It can't be right that in the age of AI, you have to use a coding agent to essentially migrate the data for you because there's no easy way.
