Deployment Architecture

I've read it's not recommended to build indexes with maxdatasize for buckets less than 750mb, but what about indexes that do not generate many events?

I've read that it's not recommended to build indexes with maxdatasize for buckets less than 750mb. What about for small footprint indexes that do not generate a lot of events?

Perfectly acceptable to lower this. Splunk provides an example of this on their indexes.conf page:

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.4/admin/Indexesconf
maxDataSize = 500

The recommendations depend on your bucket rotation strategies (how many warm buckets you're keeping, where they're going afterwards, etc).
