Getting Data In

How can I evenly balance between two sets of indexers?

all,

I have set of indexers. One set is index clustered, modern hardware and super fancy. ANd I have my old stuff. For the time being I need to evenly balance between them. How could I configure my outputs.conf to do so?

[tcpout]
defaultGroup = default-autolb-group
connectionTimeout = 10
forceTimebasedAutoLB = true

[tcpout:default-autolb-group]

server = myindexer01:9997

[tcpout:legacyindexerswithbigdisks]
server = myoldindexer01:9997

hello there,

you can have all the indexers set under one group:
outputs.conf:

[tcpout]
 defaultGroup = default-autolb-group
 connectionTimeout = 10
 forceTimebasedAutoLB = true

 [tcpout:default-autolb-group]
  server = myindexer01:9997, myindexer02:9997, myindexer0n:9997 myoldindexer01:9997, myoldindexer02:9997, myoldindexer0n:9997

obviously, data on the clustered indexers will replicate according to relevant factors while data to old indexers will be written across indexers without replication
hope i understood your question
