hi! I will install SPLUNK on a VM. I also wanted to transfer files from $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/ so that I wont have to redo all the dashboards, once I ran the splunk on VM under the same host. Is this possible given that I will be able to transfer the files from my PC to the VM?

thank you very much.

Hey@mdmaala,

Yes you can transfer your files from one instance to another.
You can try referring this link for migration:

Let me know if this helps!!
