Warm Databases not moving to cold database location

I modified $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/indexes.conf for the specific index to keep only 10 warm databases; however, it is not working as I have over 160 warm databases in my local disk under the "db" directory.

Is this the incorrect file?

Configuration as follows:

[serverlogs]
coldPath = /mnt/splunk_data/serverlogs_01/colddb
homePath = /splunk_data/serverlogs/db
thawedPath = /mnt/splunk_data/serverlogs_01/thaweddb
maxWarmDBCount = 10

Version: 4.1.3

Does Splunk have permissions or any problems writing to the coldPath? Also, are there any indications in splunkd.log of any problems (or successes) rolling the warm buckets?

Yes; several times.

The changes were made several restarts ago.

Any other ideas?

did you restart the server once you changed the configuration?
