Hi.

I'm working on splunk operations team.

version: Enterprise 7.3.4, centos7

Environment : 3 SH, 10 IDX cluster.

Search Factor : 3

Replication Factor : 3

 

Why is different tsidx file's size in same index?

My situation :

Tsidx file's  size in one specific indexer is 2~3x larger than size in the rest indexer.

So, this indexer storage sometimes goes to above 97% and indexing stops. After splunk instance restart, for a few days storage remains at 86~87%. (the rest indexers always remain at 86%)

I checked rawdata file's size. But, size is only affected by event count.

Not all indexes are included. 10 of 100 indexes are included.

I can't find cause. Help me.

If you need additional information, please let me know.


Thank you.
