Dear all,

I have site1 and site2 with multisite cluster on.
However, i just only want to replicate the data within local site only.

What and how to configure that setup?

Thanks
Kelvin

you can set site_replication_factor and site_search_factor's origin:N and total:N to be the same.
for example:

site_replication_factor = origin:2, total:2
site_search_factor = origin:1, total:1

Although, I do believe that if one site doesn't have enough servers, it will try to replicate to the other. Maybe you want this, maybe you don't.

This is a better answer than mine.

I don't understand what you're asking for. Why are you using multi-site clustering in the first place? Why don't you just create two separate clusters?

gkanapathy, thanks for your reply.

Just like you said, create 2 two separate clusters.
Can it control by single master node?
Also, can it search all the result with one search head?

Thanks

You can search both with one search head, but you need two masters, one for each cluster.

Do you mean that install external search head just outside the 2 clusters?
Thanks
