Accidentally deleted auto_generated_pool, will there be any adverse effects?

Hello everyone, 

I was updating our licenses and I am still new to Splunk, so I accidentally deleted the auto_generated_pool. I recreated the pool to match the auto_generated_one, but I would just like to know if I might have broken anything or if there is anyway to get Splunk to generate another auto_generated_pool? I checked our indexers and I performed a few searches and it looks like we are still gathering data.

If you are only using 1 pool, it makes no difference. So long as you have a pool configured, that's all that is needed.

Pool's are used to assign different indexing volumes to different indexers. If all your indexers should be indexing data equally, then a single pool, either auto-generated, or manually created is all you need.

Have a read over this if you have not already:
