Splunk Indexer IOPS

[skiptdouglas]

Hello All

Im currently trying to size up a indexer and have been told that what is needed is 1200 IOPS per disk .

Being 1200 IOPS per disk means that we need to go all SSD , which of course blows the budget out .

From what i can see its 1200 IOPS for the disk subsystem , which to me means the underlying groups of disks .

A official reply from Splunk would be great and of course i welcome the forum experts who dedicate there time to answer

Thanks in advance

The figure is per indexer, not per individual disk.
