Occasionally splunk-optimizes will run at the same time for many instances. This causes load spikes. Is there any way to stagger or control when splunk optimizes are run on a per instance basis.</P> Tue, 18 Sep 2012 18:31:42 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/splunk-optimize-in-multi-instance-enviroments/m-p/63947#M22373 jfraiberg 2012-09-18T18:31:42Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/splunk-optimize-in-multi-instance-enviroments/m-p/63948#M22374 <P>You can alter the number of concurrent instances of splunk-optimize by changing the value set for <CODE>maxConcurrentOptimizes</CODE> in <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Indexesconf">indexes.conf</A> but i dont think you can tell him when to run <BR /> outside forcing it to run via <CODE>./splunk-optimize &lt;directory&gt;</CODE></P> Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:37:13 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/splunk-optimize-in-multi-instance-enviroments/m-p/63948#M22374 MarioM 2012-09-18T19:37:13Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/splunk-optimize-in-multi-instance-enviroments/m-p/63949#M22375 <P>I'm not sure maxConcurrentOptimizes will help in my situation since its single optimizes spanning multiple instances. It seems that a possible ugly solution is to just disable it and cron them staggered but that would take some R&amp;D. I was hoping there was a way to do it natively.</P> Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:57:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/splunk-optimize-in-multi-instance-enviroments/m-p/63949#M22375 jfraiberg 2012-09-18T19:57:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/splunk-optimize-in-multi-instance-enviroments/m-p/63950#M22376 <P>you might want to open a case to splunk support to see if they have a suggestion</P> Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:01:11 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/splunk-optimize-in-multi-instance-enviroments/m-p/63950#M22376 MarioM 2012-09-18T20:01:11Z
