Hello Everyone,
Is there any functionality in splunk to tranfer event from one to other index source/sourcetype wise? It would help with negating rework/data loss.

Thanks

Sorry. The only thing you can do is to find the original data and export it to a flat file, and then re-index it as desired. I don't think this is what you wanted, but AFAIK there is no way to transfer data from one index to another.

This is not necessarily easy or desirable for Splunk - as Splunk is not a DBMS.

No this is not what i want or many want. This would be another hottest release for future splunk release with some more enhancement which i think is not at all good and requires so much effort for simple things.
