HI @chandupatlaMoun ,

The Splunk migration to Cloud is a job that should be planned and designed at least by a Splunk Certified Architect, It isn't a matter for a question in Community.

My first answer is to read the SCMA methodology and follow it.

I just finished a project for this, so I summarize the main steps to adapt to you infrastructure:

  • analyze your perimeter and define a list of hosts, separating the ones on premise and the ones from cloud,
  • analyze your data and define a list of Data Sources related to the perimeter.
  • install at least two Heavy Forwarders as Concentrators for all the on premise traffic, this is mandatory to avoid to open a connection between all your hosts and Splunk Cloud.
  • check the compatibility of your apps with Splunk Cloud:
    • standard apps on Splunkbase,
    • custom apps using Appinspect,
  • identify the standard app to install on Splunk Cloud,
  • solve the issues that you'll surely have on your custom apps,
  • install all the standard apps on your Splunk Cloud instance (included all the Add-Ons),
  • upload all the custom apps,
  • move all the data sources to send logs to the HFs (Concentrators),
  • enable Cloud Data Sources using the Add-Ons that Splunk supply,
  • check the data sources.

This is a quick and dirty summarization, but, as i already said, this is a job for a Splunk Architect.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
