Flex to Tier Migration Report

The Flex to Tier Migration Report shows your partitions and their readiness for migration from a flex licensing model to a tiered licensing model for log ingestion. It includes recommendation messages and the status of any unsupported features that may be affected by migration.

Column definitions

Column	Description
Partition Name	Name of the partition.
Ingestion Volume	Total ingestion volume associated with the partition.
Is Included	Indicates whether the partition is currently included or excluded from the migration scope.
SIEM Forwarding	Indicates whether SIEM forwarding is enabled for the partition (true / false).
Unsupported Features Detected When Moving Towards Tiered	Displays any unsupported dependencies detected for the partition after migration to Tiered storage. For example, true [monitor, slo].
Unsupported Monitor	Lists monitor names currently using the partition that may not function after migration.
Unsupported SLO	Lists SLO names associated with the partition that may become unsupported after migration.
Unsupported Scheduled Views	Lists scheduled view names dependent on the partition that may not work after migration.
Recommendation	Provides the recommended action based on dependency analysis and migration readiness.

Recommendation messages

The Recommendation column displays one of the following messages based on the partition's scope, unsupported feature status, and SIEM forwarding configuration.

Is Included	Unsupported Features Detected	SIEM Forwarding	Recommendation
true	false	true or false	No action needed.
false	false	false	No action needed.
false	false	true	Switch to Included (Continuous). SIEM Forwarding will not work correctly on an excluded partition.
false	true	true or false	Switch to Included (Continuous). Monitors/SLOs/Scheduled Views will not work correctly on an excluded partition.

FAQ

What is the Flex to Tier Migration Report?

The Flex to Tier Migration Report is a tool that shows each partition in your organization and whether it is ready to migrate from Flex to Tiered storage. It evaluates each partition against a set of dependency checks, including monitors, SLOs, scheduled views, and SIEM forwarding, and provides a recommended action for each.

What does the Is Included column mean?

The Is Included column indicates whether a partition is part of the default scope. A value of true means the partition is included in the default scope; false means it is excluded. Excluded partitions may need to be switched to Included if they have active SIEM forwarding or unsupported feature dependencies.

What happens to monitors and SLOs after migration to Tiered storage?

Monitors and SLOs that rely on a partition excluded from Tiered storage may stop functioning correctly after migration. The report lists the affected monitor and SLO names in the Unsupported Monitor and Unsupported SLO columns so you can take action before migration.

What should I do if my partition has SIEM Forwarding enabled?

If SIEM Forwarding is enabled and the partition is currently excluded from the migration scope, the recommendation is to switch it to Included (Continuous). SIEM Forwarding does not work correctly on excluded partitions, and leaving it excluded can result in data not being forwarded after migration.
