What is migration.conf

sloshburch — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:00:47 GMT

I just created a new splunk install and I see a migration.conf with the following contents:

[history]
migrated_cluster_app_to_underscore_cluster = true

What's this all about? I can't find any record of it on splunk answers or splunk documentation.

I'm using version splunk-5.0.2-149561-Linux-x86_64.

Per Stephen Sorkin: "migration.conf stores a manifest of all the migration steps performed on the instance." We've filed a bug (SPL-72543) to get this added to the configuration file reference.

How can we track the bug so we don't lose sight of this?

I have added it to the known issues in the release notes; when it is fixed, it will move to the change log.
