Hi @s_unny ,

as also @isoutamo said, you don't have enough disk space on your desktop.

I hint to reduce the retention time of your indexes, starting from _internal and the most large indexes.

Ciao.

Hi

if I understood right you issue, you have used too much of SPLUNK_DB space on your system. There are many instructions  on net, how to move/change SPLUNK_DB into another Drive on Windows which you need to do. Another option is limit your disk space to lower, but probably this will denied to collect enough events to your system.

Another option is ask some local Splunk Partner to fix this for you.
