Getting Data In

Is changing Class can affect indexing and Fishbucket CRC

Hi all,

A general question that I couldn't find an answer to...

If I change for the certain app class from one to another, and restart splunkd, will there be any affect on indexing?

I mean will it re-index the same data or a portion of it twice? 

Or, since it's the same a app and same source, maybe there is no need to restart splunkd?

Thanks

Hi @michael_vi ,

sorry but your question isn't so clear:

what do you mean with "app class"?

are you speaking od an add-on for iput data or what else?

Splunk doesn't reindex twice the same data even if you change the data filename.

The only way to reindex an already idexed data is if you used crcSal = <SOUCE> in your inputs.conf stanzas and you changed the data filename.

Final question: all the changes to a conf file (not by GUI) require a splunk restart on the machine.

Ciao.

I mean, if I change a Server Class in Deployment Server from one to another.

Everything else stays the same.

Hi @michael_vi ,

a ServerClass is a relation table between a list of hosts and a list of apps to be deployed to the hosts, so you can move apps between ServerClasses without any problem, putting obviously attention to cover all the hosts.
