edit file server.conf

vumanhtai — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 04:03:08 GMT

i changed file server.conf as per this document "https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.1/Admin/Serverconf"
The goal is to optimized the load per index to increase performance.
However I got the bellow issue:
Invalid key in stanza [general] in /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf, line 6: pipelineSetSelectionPolicy (value: weighted_random).
Did you mean 'parallelIngestionPipelines'?
Did you mean 'pass4SymmKey'?
Invalid key in stanza [general] in /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf, line 7: pipelineSetWeightsUpdatePeriod (value: 15).
Did you mean 'parallelIngestionPipelines'?
Did you mean 'pass4SymmKey'?

Please help to explain why i got this and how to fix
Thanks ALL

Please show your complete server.conf stanza. Where and how did you define it exactly?

pipelineSetWeightsUpdatePeriod = 15

[sslConfig]

Hi vumanhtai,
at first, site option must be used only if you have a multisite cluster, do you have it?

Errors are related to the following options

pipelineSetSelectionPolicy = weighted_random
pipelineSetWeightsUpdatePeriod = 15

about the first, try to insert the default value "round_robin" and check if you have still the error.

About the second, use with caution this option because you could have other problems in search.

Bye.
