How to fix frozen folder not splitting up by indexes that instead have $_index_name at the root folder on the volume?

Hello

I noticed that my frozen folder are not splitting up by indexes. Instead I have "$_index_name" at the root folder on the volume.

this is my configuration:

 

[default]
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 1000000
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 13824000
homePath = volume:hot/$_index_name/db
coldPath = volume:cold/$_index_name/colddb
tstatsHomePath = volume:hot/$_index_name/datamodel_summary
summaryHomePath = volume:hot/$_index_name/summary
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/$_index_name/thaweddb
coldToFrozenDir = /frozen/$_index_name/frozendb
repFactor=auto

 

is there a way to fix it?

Thank you

The docs to indexes.conf suggest that the placeholder $_index_name is _not_ supported for the coldToFrozenDir setting. So you'd have to overwrite it to a specific value for each index.
