# `argocd admin export` Command Reference

## argocd admin export

Export all Argo CD data to stdout (default) or a file

```
argocd admin export [flags]
```

### Options

```
      --application-namespaces strings      Comma-separated list of namespace globs to export applications from, in addition to the control plane namespace (Argo CD namespace). By default, all applications from the control plane namespace are always exported. If this flag is provided, applications from the specified namespaces are exported along with the control plane namespace. If not specified, the value from 'application.namespaces' in argocd-cmd-params-cm is used (if defined in the ConfigMap). If the ConfigMap value is not set, only applications from the control plane namespace are exported.
      --applicationset-namespaces strings   Comma-separated list of namespace globs to export ApplicationSets from, in addition to the control plane namespace (Argo CD namespace). By default, all ApplicationSets from the control plane namespace are always exported. If this flag is provided, ApplicationSets from the specified namespaces are exported along with the control plane namespace. If not specified, the value from 'applicationsetcontroller.namespaces' in argocd-cmd-params-cm is used (if defined in the ConfigMap). If the ConfigMap value is not set, only ApplicationSets from the control plane namespace are exported.

      --as-group stringArray                Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.

  -n, --namespace string                    If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request

      --request-timeout string              The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don't timeout requests. (default "0")
      --server string                       The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
      --tls-server-name string              If provided, this name will be used to validate server certificate. If this is not provided, hostname used to contact the server is used.
      --token string                        Bearer token for authentication to the API server
