Cold to frozen script, simply moving to thawed folder- how to genericize?

[tedder]

I want to use the coldToFrozenScript to simply move from cold to my thawed path. Great, my shell script simply contains the following: mv -r "$1" /mnt/thawed/

However, if I use this for multiple indexes, I need to move it to the path for the index: /mnt/thawed/indexname/

How can I genericize this? I mean, I can set an argument, but can I detect the index or the thawedPath easily?

You can use the search command "dbinspect". For example:
|dbinspect index=main

If you know the index name, say via an argument, then you can ask btool to tell you the thawed path, similar to:

$ splunk cmd btool indexes list main | grep thawedPath
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/defaultdb/thaweddb

BEWARE, btool may not be officially supported right now, or ever.
