Basically time based retention instead of the maxTotalDataSizeMB?</P> <P>Thanks,<BR /> --adam</P> Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:37:14 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/maxTotalDataSizeMB-max-value-or-0/m-p/59560#M11742 adamw 2011-08-17T19:37:14Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/maxTotalDataSizeMB-max-value-or-0/m-p/59561#M11743 <P>Per the docs for <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.3/admin/Indexesconf">indexes.conf</A>, the maximum value is 4294967295 MB.
