Hi,

To 'save' all the event mappings you've setup you can save these to a zenpack and then export the zenpack and load it into other zenoss instances to recreate the mappings.

Create a new blank zenpack via the advanced, zenpacks page and the Create a Zenpack option under the cog icon at the top of the page.
Then navigate to your event mappings or the event class that they are under and in the cog menu at the bottom left of the screen you should find an 'Add to ZenPack...' option. Click this will give you a list of zenpacks to add to. 

Once you've done all the mappings you want, go back to the zenpacks page and you should see the added mapping objects listed in the zenpack )(towards the bnottom of the zenpack page)
You can then export the zenpack to an egg file via the Export Zenpack... option in the cog menu bottom left.
Then you can load this zenpack into other zenoss and not have to recreate the mappings.

(the exported egg file is really a zip, so if you examine the contents you'll see an objects directory (Zenpacks\<name>\<othername>objects) which contains a file called objects.xml and its in here that zneoss actually saves the event mappings in xml format.)
