https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/move-aged-data-to-lower-tier-indexers/m-p/50048#M1592 <P>I have my primary splunk indexers on performance storage. <BR /> I have indexers on lower tier storage as well. (not in the same physical site)<BR /> I would like the primary indexer to move data to the lower tier storage after the configured age of data. is this possible? if so how?</P> <P>thanks</P> <P>gd</P> Wed, 28 Aug 2013 18:14:33 GMT gdavid 2013-08-28T18:14:33Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/move-aged-data-to-lower-tier-indexers/m-p/50048#M1592 <P>I have my primary splunk indexers on performance storage. <BR /> I have indexers on lower tier storage as well.

If you did get it to work, and the network path went down, then Splunk would not start.</P> <P>It is possible to move the cold buckets to a network location, but the cold path would still be local.</P> Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:14:04 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/move-aged-data-to-lower-tier-indexers/m-p/50049#M1593 lukejadamec 2013-08-28T19:14:04Z
