Use [`chronoctl`](/chronograf/v1/tools/chronoctl/) to migrate your Chronograf configuration store from BoltDB to a shared `etcd` data store used for Chronograf high-availability (HA) clusters.
{{% note %}}
#### Update resource IDs
Migrating Chronograf to a shared data source creates new source IDs for each resource.
Update external links to Chronograf dashboards to reflect new source IDs.
{{% /note %}}
1. Stop the Chronograf server by killing the `chronograf` process.
2. To prevent data loss, we **strongly recommend** that you back up your Chronograf data store before migrating to a Chronograf cluster.
3. [Install and start etcd](/chronograf/v1/administration/create-high-availability/#install-and-start-etcd).
4. Run the following command, specifying the local BoltDB file and the `etcd` endpoint beginning with `etcd://`.
(We recommend adding the prefix `bolt://` to an absolute path.
Do not use the prefix to specify a relative path to the BoltDB file.)
```sh
chronoctl migrate \
--from bolt:///path/to/chronograf-v1.db \
--to etcd://localhost:2379
```
##### Provide etcd authentication credentials
If authentication is enabled on `etcd`, use the standard URI basic
authentication format to define a username and password. For example:
```sh
etcd://username:password@localhost:2379
```
##### Provide etcd TLS credentials
If TLS is enabled on `etcd`, provide your TLS certificate credentials using
the following query parameters in your etcd URL:
- **cert**: Path to client certificate file or PEM file
- **key**: Path to client key file
- **ca**: Path to trusted CA certificates
```sh
etcd://127.0.0.1:2379?cert=/tmp/client.crt&key=/tst/client.key&ca=/tst/ca.crt
```
5. Update links to Chronograf (for example, from external sources) to reflect your new URLs:
- **from BoltDB:**
http://localhost:8888/sources/1/status
- **to etcd:**
http://localhost:8888/sources/373921399246786560/status
6. Set up a load balancer for Chronograf.
7. [Start Chronograf](/chronograf/v1/administration/create-high-availability/#start-chronograf).
