I have a requirement to move indexed data from index-A to another index-B in a smart-store enabled cluster. Both indexes (A & B ) has data in the AWS s3-bucket.  I would like to know if the below steps works?

Steps :

  1. Stop the incoming data to index-A
  2. Roll the hot bucket  on index-A
  3. Move  the data from s3 for index-A  to index-B
    1. Using the aws s3 sync  s3://bucket-name/index-A  s3://bucket-name/index-B  
  4. Run bootstrap command on CM.

One cannot move data from one index to another.  Once the data is in an index it stays there until it ages out or is removed to make room for newer data.

NEVER mess with Splunk's S3 buckets.  Do so at your own risk and be prepared for a Bad Day.
