On the load balancer we see similar amount of data sent to each Splunk server. But their indexing volumes are drastically different.</P> Tue, 25 May 2010 01:20:09 GMT Genti 2010-05-25T01:20:09Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/indexing-volume-vs-data-size-received/m-p/14136#M1387 <P>What is the relationship between size of logs received by Splunk indexing servers versus indexing volume?
