I want to set maxTotalDataSizeMB to 2000000 (~2TB). Is there are more human readable way of writing this? e.g.
- 2,000,000
- 2_000_000
- 2e6

Hi @tomy8sctm ,
I'm afraid that is not possible for most settings.
What I normally do is to add a comment just before that line indicating in a more human-readable way what I'm doing:
# 2 years = 730 days = 63,072,000 seconds
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 63072000
# 2 TB = 2,097,152 MB
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 2097152
Certain settings do allow more human readable ways:
maxQueueSize = [<integer>|<integer>[KB|MB|GB]|auto]

Thanks for the answer @javiergn. Oh, well. I'll just have to leave all 6 of the 0s in a row! It would be good if Splunk added this functionality at some point.
