Is there a cmd command or script that I can use in Windows to rebuild multiple buckets after copying from frozen to thawed Splunk folder? I am trying to rebuild nearly 150 buckets.

There isnt a built in command but i can share what i have used in the past using powershell.

$SourceFolder = "<thawdb>"

$id = 1000

$folders = Get-ChildItem $SourceFolder

$folders.ForEach({

    $db = ($_.Name -split "_")[0]

    $epoch_start = ($_.Name -split "_")[1]

    $epoch_end = ($_.Name -split "_")[2]

    Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName "$($db)_$($epoch_start)_$($epoch_end)_$id"

    $id++

})

$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $SourceFolder

cd 'C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin'

foreach($file in $files){

    .\splunk.exe rebuild $SourceFolder\$($file.name)
}

a little explanation, move bucket into your thawdb directory which you will define in the $SourceFolder. The script renames bucket id starting at 1000 to avoid any possible collision issues. Runs rebuild command to thaw buckets. Then restart splunk.

Very helpful. Was able to adjust this for our environment to thaw 18,000+ buckets.
