Datamodel size on disk doesn't make sense?

[TheBravoSierra]

My Web Datamodel was set to 3 months with 67 GB+ size on disk. I reduced the summary range to 1 month, and size on disk increased to 100 GB+ size on disk. This doesn't make sense, can someone help explain? I would've thought less time range equated to less size on disk.

Hi @TheBravoSierra,

I suppose that you rebuilded the DataModel after time reduction.

If no, rebuild it and the disk occupation should be less, if you already did, opena a case to Splunk Support because there isn't any reason for this behaviour.

Ciao.
