Migrate from Windows installation to Linux installation.

Hello,

We are going to install a new splunk installation on a Linux machine. We would like to migrate settings and data from the old Windows server.

Can you point us in the right direction?

you can absolutely migrate your data if your Windows instance is from 4.2 or later, just use the procedure here--use the first half of the *Nix procedure and the 2nd half of the Windows one:

it might be easiest to hand-move all the config content in /local/ one file at a time to make sure you switch the direction of the slashes etc, but all the configs are the same (except for your inputs, of course).
