I do not want to replicate data between the indexers. However, when I enable clustering on the master node and set replication factor = 0 and search factor = 0, splunkd won't start with the following error:<BR /> ERROR ClusteringMgr - Failure to load cluster config (server.conf) Error = origin has an invalid count:0. .</P> <P>Setting replication and search factors to 1 will allow splunkd to start successfully. Based on my testing it doesn't seem possible to have a cluster without replication, but I can't find any documentation that confirms my suspicion. Should this be possible?</P> Thu, 18 Sep 2014 00:39:49 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Setup-a-cluster-without-replication-ERROR-ClusteringMgr/m-p/129199#M1558 devights6749 2014-09-18T00:39:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Setup-a-cluster-without-replication-ERROR-ClusteringMgr/m-p/129200#M1559 <P>0 means no copies of a bucket, which makes no sense. you need to have at least 1 copy of your data (it won't be replicated). repfactor=2 means two copies, so there will be one replicated copy</P> Thu, 18 Sep 2014 00:43:34 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Setup-a-cluster-without-replication-ERROR-ClusteringMgr/m-p/129200#M1559 dxu_splunk 2014-09-18T00:43:34Z
