Hi Team

Can some one help me ,what i should do to migrate items from on-premise SH to Splunk cloud ?
Like Lookup,ES use cases ,alerts created in search and reporting , reports and dashboards ?

Any step based resolution will be helpful . Can i do it alone or would it require on-demand support from splunk to do these migration ?

How to Break the KOs out of the Search & Reporting app into a custom app ? Can you give an example ?

Assuming you have CLI access, it's easy to do by editing .conf files.

1. Create the new app directory $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<new app>/default
2. Edit $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/local/*.conf
3. Move your custom stanzas from the search app to the corresponding file in the new app.
4. Create the new app directory $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<new app>/metadata
5. Edit $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/metadata/local.meta
6. Move your custom stanzas from the search app to the default.meta file in the new app.
7. Restart the SH and test your KOs.
8. Package the new app and upload it to Splunk Cloud.

This is something normally handled by Professional Services as part of the migration.

You can do it yourself, however.  Break the KOs out of the Search & Reporting app into a custom app.  Then upload the app to Splunk Cloud.
