Per CPU core? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-many-indexes-can-should-one-indexer-support-Per-CPU-core/m-p/69669#M797 <P>Based on retention needs, daily volume and available disk I've broken my group's index into 5 main indexes plus 2 summary indexes. We share the 2 server index cluster with other groups, and if they use the same methodology, we could be looking at 30 or more indexes. Is this a problem? Is there some tuning I should be doing to make it perform better?</P> <P>The indexers are 32-core, 64 GB beasties with SAN disk.</P> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:52:33 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-many-indexes-can-should-one-indexer-support-Per-CPU-core/m-p/69669#M797 twinspop 2012-02-10T14:52:33Z Re: How many indexes can/should one indexer support?
