Splunk Datacenter migration- Are there pre migration tasks?

[madisonParexel]

Hello Splunk Community.

the server where splunk is located will be moved from the datacenter location to another city,
And I have questions about what I would need to do in splunk so that it doesn't lose any information or if splunk will work just starting the service.
are there some Application pre-migration task to do?

or we just need to turn off the splunk app and service?

it is only one splunk instance working as a index and search but we have a lot of data receiving from universal forwarders.

Thank you in advance.

As usual - it depends. It depends on what you want to achieve (in terms of holes in ingested data) as well as on your infrastructure. With an all-in-one installation you can just shut it down and move. With a more complicated setup it can be tricky due to several resiliency mechanisms built in which can kick in if you start shutting down components (especially if you don't do it properly). In such case you'd be best off contacting Professional Services or your local Splunk partner for assistance.
