I'd like to move it to a faster volume of 10GB size. What would be the correct steps to achieve this? For example:</P> <P>- specify&nbsp; maxDataSizeMB = 10000<BR />- restart splunk (will it shrink the hot index and move the rest of it to the cold path)?<BR />- add new volume, manually move hot index files to new location</P> <P>Thanks<BR />Andrei</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 11 Apr 2022 15:47:18 GMT akazarov 2022-04-11T15:47:18Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-dynamically-shrink-hot-warm-index-size/m-p/593318#M103833 <P>Hello,</P> <P>Presently my hot/warm index occupies 50GB on disk (there are no limits specified in indexes.conf).
