Hi Everyone!

I've tested the transferring buckets between 2 different Splunks, both of them are Win.
Transferred .bucketManifest file and hot_v1_0 folder from the old Splunk to the New.
After restart I still cant see the data.
I also tried to transfer the the db folder .

What am I missing?
Please assist.

Thank you!! 🙂

Hi,

you can just copy one index to another host (as far as there are single-instances) - there are no issues with that. just make sure your settings for indexes.conf are the same and file permissions are set accordingly.

This also works for clustered enviorments with a little more efford.

Regards,

Andreas
