Hello Splunkers,

Any one had luck to test for connective from indexer host to send data to your AWS S3 one ? I have tried with below settings to setup frozen volume but its giving error.

[volume:frozen]
storageType = remote

path = s3://example-s3-bucket/remote_volume

path = s3://xyz-splunk-bb/frozen
remote.s3.access_key = XXX
remote.s3.secret_key = YYYY
[default]
remotePath = volume:s3/frozen

you shouldn't have "s3/" in front of "frozen" in volume:s3/frozen

also, remotePath needs an index name

Thank you but i have tried below ways

[volume:frozen]
storageType = remote

path = s3://example-s3-bucket/remote_volume

path = s3://xyz-splunk-bb/frozen
remote.s3.access_key = XXX
remote.s3.secret_key = YYYY
[default]
remotePath = volume:s3/frozen

[index1]
homePath = volume:frozen/index1/db
coldPath = volume:frozen/index1/colddb
thawedPath = volume:frozen/index1/thaweddb

but no luck ...

if you have "remotePath = volume:s3/frozen" under [default], your "index1" is going to have:

remotePath = volume:s3/frozen

that makes no sense.

replace "remotePath = volume:s3/frozen" with "remotePath = volume:frozen/$_index_name"

[default]
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB/$_index_name/db
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/$_index_name/thaweddb
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB/$_index_name/colddb
remotePath = volume:remote_store/$_index_name

[os]
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB/$_index_name/db
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/$_index_name/thaweddb
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB/$_index_name/colddb
remotePath = volume:remote_store/$_index_name
