Export OTEL data from one Splunk to a file and reimport to another SPunk install?

[robertlynch2020]

HI

Is it possible to

1st Export OTEL data to file(or something)

2nd Import that file to a new Splunk install?

We have a cluster with 3 INDEXERS and I want to export specific host data out of it and import it to a Test and Development Install. Is this possible?

@js15 

Regards

Robert

Hey! Yeah OTel file exporter can be used.

You could also configure otel to filter the data you want and send to file and hec simultaneously!

Splunk otel distro has these components: https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector/blob/main/docs/components.md
