Different number of buckets

Hi, I have an issue in indexer cluster. It's been a month since i noticed there are different number of buckets in two indexers.  Search factor, Replication factor fine. What is the reason for this difference? tempsnip.png

The easiest way is use the next command on cli.

splunk btool indexes list --debug|egrep '(\[|repFa)'|egrep -A1 '\[_'

It also shows where those values comes (usually .../system/default/indexes.conf unless you have changed those). If you need to change these, then the best option is create separate app for those changes.

Have you check that those are not excess buckets?

I checked the bucket status and there are no excess buckets.

Are all your indexes replicated over cluster, including internal indexes (repFactor = auto) ?

I checked the indexes and it is "repFactor=auto"everywhere. Do you know where to check for internal indexes repFactor?

Thanks for the answer, I've checked the internal indexes. And there were those in which repFactor=0. I changed it to repFactor=auto.  Your CLI command helped a lot, thanks again.
