Missing indexes

Any one have a way to investigate what causes indexes to suddenly disappear? Running a btool and indexes list… my primary indexes with all my security logs are just not there. I also have a NFS mount for archival and the logs are missing from there too. Going to the /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk directory I see the last hot bucket was collected around 9am. I am trying to parse through whatever logs to find out what happened and how to recover.
