Additionally, you can also try rolling the bucket manually as mentioned in the reason. The SF isn't met because it needs the bucket to be rolled. Click on the Actions drop down and roll the bucket. This should also help you fix the SF/RF not met issue without any downtime.

 

Thanks,
Tejas.

Providing there are no issues, a rolling restart is OK to perform. Its best to do this when it's least busy or have maintaince Window for your BAU operations.

A rolling restart performs a phased restart of all peer nodes, so that the indexer cluster as a whole can continue to perform its function during the restart process and data should be sent to the other indexers, whilst one is being restarted. There a number of checks it perfoms so can take a while which depends on your architecture.

First check the status, you can use the manager GUI or CLI
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk show cluster-status --verbose

Restart from the GUI or use the CLI
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk rolling-restart cluster-peers

Those vmware-vclogs are creating lots small of buckets(folders) - this happens when the data- onboarding has is incorrect - timestamps or formatting, I would look at those logs and ensure you have applied proper data hygine with the correct TA
