Alright, I've had some limited success with regard to this issue.
The steps I've completed are as follows:
- build the SHC (this is the easy part)
- ensured /local configurations were maintained across original and new (authentication, authorization, etc)
- used the process detailed here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.2/DistSearch/Migratefromstandalonesearchheads This got some of the config across, but my KPI's weren't appearing
- finally used: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/2.6.0/Configure/kvstore_to_json.pyoperations (this, as noted by the name, allows you to backup the kvstore and move it to the new cluster)
I'm still fighting a couple things (glass tables are not showing up on the new cluster) but I'm close. Hopefully this gives someone a point in the right direction.
