archiveBucket.sh is expecting 2 arguments not 1

[borischen]

index=$1 bucket=$2

This is wrong, since splunk will not pass a second argument, and this results in an error.

What we should do is derive the index from the bucket path just like the sample script in coldToFrozenExample.py

[emreberge]

While Splunk only sends one argument, an other argument can be passed in the conf file.

ColdToFrozenScript = "/path/to/file/archiveBucket.sh index-name"

Here index-name is the first argument, the index name, and the second argument will be passed by Splunk.

Why did we do this: While the default configuration of the bucket path reveals the index-name the indexes.conf can be changed so that the path of the bucket is stored without the index-name being a part of the path.

Okay.

The script should check for mis-configuration. It's not usual to call frozen scripts like this, and so it took me quite a while to figure out what was wrong. (at the very least, the script having comments on how to use it would be helpful)

I'll have to back out my change

[borischen]

it's backed out by petter, but i think we should do better error checking

[borischen]

added error checking
