Is there a comprehensive resource describes the data rebalancing process and troubleshooting steps in detail if splunk happens to stall?

Hi @dspencer 

I think this will probably be the best starting point: https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-indexers-and-indexer-clusters/9.4/man... which as details on how to check the status etc. Ultimately a solution for any issues will depend on the problem you face. 

Have you tried to carry out a rebalance and failed or just thinking hypothetically?

I ran a full rebalance, non-searchable, threshold = 95% over the weekend and it seemed to get stuck at 99.72% before i stopped it. Splunk documentation isn't comprehensive enough for troubleshooting purposes and some of the post I've found don't explain anything. I need references that will help me determine what the issue is.
