After a migration to VCF 9.

VCF 9.0 introduces Log Data Transfer initiated from VCF Operations. The docs say: “You can transfer log data for up to 90 days from Aria Operations for Logs 8.x… The migrated logs are stored in VCF Operations for logs.” and “To transfer logs… navigate to the Logs Data Transfer card in Administration > Control Panel… click the INITIATE TRANSFER button… You can select the duration of logs to transfer…” (emphasis added).

They further clarify that simple forwarding does not transfer already ingested logs: “Forward logs… does not transfer already ingested logs. Transfer historical logs up to 90 days… using the Log Data Transfer feature in VCF Operations.”

Hence, the correct action is to initiate the transfer in VCF Operations (Administration > Control Panel > Logs Data Transfer).
