The following is important information for transitioning from Splunk Cloud Gateway to Splunk Secure Gateway.

Registration

If you've been using Splunk Cloud Gateway, you don't have to register your devices again. Complete the migration steps to copy your data from Splunk Cloud Gateway to Splunk Secure Gateway.

Splunk Mobile

If you have alerts set up for your Splunk Mobile users, you need to create triggers for those alerts again. Splunk Mobile alert triggers do not transfer from Splunk Cloud Gateway to Splunk Secure Gateway.

Splunk AR

Use Splunk AR version 3.0.0 and higher with Splunk Secure Gateway and the Splunk App for AR. See Install the Splunk App for AR.

After you install the Splunk App for AR, your Splunk AR data from Splunk Cloud Gateway migrates to the Splunk App for AR.

If you're migrating from Splunk Cloud Gateway to Splunk Secure Gateway, you must have Splunk Cloud Gateway installed when switching to Splunk Secure Gateway. If you don't have Splunk Cloud Gateway installed when upgrading, you'll lose all assets, asset groups, workspaces, geofences, beacons, and permission settings.

Use Splunk AR version 2.5.0 and lower with Splunk Cloud Gateway.

Splunk TV

Splunk TV requires the Splunk App for TV and Splunk Secure Gateway. See Get started withSplunk Secure Gateway and Install the Splunk App for TV.

Splunk Cloud Gateway data at the time of migration remains the same after using the data migration feature.
