Splunk will create a new hot bucket as it starts for an active index and if there is any data for it.</P> Mon, 28 Sep 2020 12:53:49 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Flush-all-logs-in-indexes/m-p/50746#M22224 Drainy 2020-09-28T12:53:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Flush-all-logs-in-indexes/m-p/50747#M22225 <P>yes its around 1.2G.
