Migrating IAM resources

Migrating IAM resources

The IBM® Cloud Logs migration tool is a command line tool that you can use to migrate your IBM Log Analysis or IBM Cloud Activity Tracker instance configuration to IBM Cloud Logs.

You can run the following command to find out what IAM resources you will need to migrate and get Terraform for IAM resources that the tool can provide to help you migrate IAM resources:

ibmcloud logging migrate generate-terraform --scope iam
