| Service account permissions | Storage | |||
| Local system account | Service user account | |||
Local drives Should have sufficient read and write permissions. | Sufficient disk space should be provided according to the archive size already present. Refer to the System Requirements and Tuning guide document for disk space. Exact disk space for the archives to be stored once migrated can be calculated only with the log flow. | |||
| S3 bucket | Refer to the document for configuration and prerequisites. | |||
System requirements
| Network latency | Network speed | Disk IOPS | |
| Local drive | - | - | Refer to the System Requirements |
| S3 bucket | < 2ms | > 20Mbps | Refer to the System Requirements |

Steps to follow
Step 1: Go to Settings > Admin Settings > Archives > Settings and update the path in the Archive Zip Location field. Select More Options and update the temp location.
NOTE:
- If you have set the location as an S3 bucket, ensure the connection is available from the new server to the destination location.
- It is highly recommended to set the temp file location as a local path.
Step 2: Manually copy the old archives from the old location to the new location.
Step 3: Go to Settings > Admin Settings > Data Storage > Archives > More (in the top-right corner) > Update Path.
Step 4: Select the old archive location in the drop-down and enter the new location where the archives will be moved.
Step 5: Once all the archive locations are updated, click the Refresh icon in the top-right corner to update the status of the archives.
- The migration is now completed. For more details, refer to Data Migration in EventLog Analyzer.
Tips

- It is always recommended to set the temp file location as a local path with high IOPS.
