https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/Migrate-entire-index-to-new-index-with-different-name/m-p/108328#M1895 <P>So we're trying to migrate all of the data in the default 'main' index into a new index with a different name. I am fine with taking all of the data that is in that index. Can i just copy the raw files to a new path and create a new indexes.conf file? or do i have to go the import export route?</P> Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:17:21 GMT rdevine 2012-07-25T18:17:21Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/Migrate-entire-index-to-new-index-with-different-name/m-p/108328#M1895 <P>So we're trying to migrate all of the data in the default 'main' index into a new index with a different name.
