<h1>Cloning Checks</h1>
<p>You can clone individual checks from the "Check Details"
page:</p>
<p><img alt="The &quot;Create a Copy&quot; button" src="IMG_URL/create_copy.png" /></p>
<p>The "Create a Copy..." function creates a new check in the same project and copies
over the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Name, tags, description</li>
<li>Schedule</li>
<li>Assigned notification methods</li>
</ul>
<p>The newly created check has a different ping URL, and it starts with an empty log.</p>
<h2>Cloning All Checks Into a New Project</h2>
<p>It is sometimes useful to clone an entire project. For example, when recreating
an existing deployment in a new region. The SITE_NAME web interface does
not have a function to clone an entire project, but you can clone all checks in the
project relatively easily using the <a href="../api/">Management API</a> calls.
Below is an example using Python and the <a href="https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/">requests</a> library:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">requests</span>
<span class="n">API_URL</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;SITE_ROOT/api/v1/checks/&quot;</span>
<span class="n">SOURCE_PROJECT_READONLY_KEY</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;...&quot;</span>
<span class="n">TARGET_PROJECT_KEY</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;...&quot;</span>
