Hi @arusoft ,
the best approach should be to move all these knowledge objects in one or more custom apps, package them and upload them to your Splunk Cloud instance.
The only issue that you could find is if you used some special thing as scripts, custom commands , etc... because they aren't accepted in SC.
In addition, you have to manually add to all dashboards, in the first row
version="1.1"
for this reason, maybe the process could be:
- group all your knowledge objects in one or more custom apps,
- install them in a stand alone 9.x Splunk instance,
- make all the changes to the dashboard,
- use the Upgrade Readiness App ( https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5483 ) in this system to highlight eventual anomalies,
- package your custom apps,
- upgrade one by one on SC,
- see the upgrade reports to identify eventual additional errors to solve.
Ciao.
Giuseppe
