hi! I will be needing to reinstall splunk to a new account but I want to retain my old splunk index files, dashboard and all the other files.? will copying the bin folder work even if it is under a new login account? thank you much!
Get a diag to backup your existing configurations just in case:
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk diag
Then just install Splunk right over the top of your existing Splunk with a different user. Your stuff will still be there.

What exactly do you mean by "new account" in this case?
what I mean is under a new login details
New login details where?
under a new email address
I still don't get how that is related to installing Splunk. But if woodcock's answer solves your question, that's great 🙂
hi! @FrankVl sorry for the confusion, but what I mean is transferring files from one instance to another.
but thanks anyway!
