I am looking to NOT move data at all. The underlying storage for Splunk has it's own tiering that also moves data based on usage. Based on the large amount of data per day, there is a limited amount that will stay in fast storage and the remainder will move offsite. The concern is that every time Splunk moves data from Hot to Warm to Cold, will trigger an event to pull the data from remote site to local (fast) storage just to move from bucket to bucket. I am looking to not utilize Splunk buckets since this may have an adverse affect on moving physical data on that is being managed by another storage management product.
Option 2 describes getting all the data into the Cold bucket as soon as possible. Once there, the storage management product would control (fast/slow storage) based on read/write activity.
