Is it possible to set maxTotalDataSizeMB
to let's say 6 TBs in the default stanza?
We are at 98% disk utilization ; -)
so maxVolumeDataSizeMB should be the option you are looking for.
Did you already took a look in the docs for maxTotalDataSizeMB, maxGlobalDataSizeMB and maxVolumeDataSizeMB ?
Quote from indexes.conf docs:
maxVolumeDataSizeMB: If set, this attribute limits the total size of all databases that reside
on this volume to the maximum size specified, in MB. Note that this it
will act only on those indexes which reference this volume, not on the
total size of the path set in the path attribute of this volume.

Gorgeous!!
Apparently without defining the volume we can't use this maxVolumeDataSizeMB
configuration.
Sure. have a look in the docs for indexes.conf : https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.1/Admin/Indexesconf
maxVolumeDataSizeMB = positive integer
should be the right option for you
Right, can we do it in the default stanza?
sure, everything you define in the default stanza will be applied globally on all your indexes
Oh, but we need to limit the total usage of all the indexes...
