If I comment out the following settings, will TSIDX be recreated?

enableTsidxReduction = true
timePeriodInSecBeforeTsidxReduction = 864000

The following is the contents of indexes.conf

vi /opt/splunk/etc/master-apps/_cluster/local/indexes.conf

[onepocket]
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB/onepocket/colddb
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB/onepocket/db
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/onepocket/thaweddb

enableTsidxReduction = true
timePeriodInSecBeforeTsidxReduction = 864000

frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 63072000

repFactor = auto

Turning off tsidx reduction does not undo the reduction. To restore the tsidx files you must rebuild the buckets. See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.3/Indexer/Reducetsidxdiskusage#Restore_reduced_buck...
