Getting Data In

How to verify the repFactor behavior set up in indexes.conf

Hello Splunkers,

For a specific index I configured repFactor = auto and I suppose that the logs are exactly the same on my two indexers for this specific index. How could I verify that all buckets and data has been correctly replicated ?

 When I launch a search on that index, should I see the splunk_server field showing 50% of indexer1 and 50% of indexer2 ?

Thanks for the help,

GaetanVP

Hi @GaetanVP,

go in the Master Node [Settings > Indexer Clustering] and check the buckets replication status of your index.

If it's all green, data are completely replicated.

Ciao.

You can also use the dbinspect command to see where your buckets are and/or /cluster/manager/buckets rest endpoint.

Remember that master doesn't have to have gui enabled.
