Hi,
I want to know the type & what data do the files under directory "/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/master_index/db" hold. I see this directory in my installation seems to occupy ~5.2Gb.
Want to clear some old data instead of increasing the FS all the time.
My search indexes are paused due to less space under my installation directory.
Thanks,
Pradeep
Do you have an index named "master_index"? If so that sounds like the standard hot directory location for an index named master_index
Perhaps refer to create custom indexes or if you want to clear the space Remove indexes and indexed data
The command:
splunk btool indexes list --debug
Would also help confirm if this is the master_index'es location (or you can use the GUI), the documentation above should have more details
Thanks Garethatiag.
I do have an index named master_index. Disabled it now since I am not using it. Will delete if no issue arises.
