modify/update limits.conf on indexer cluster

[warmup031]

Hello,

I have to update the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/limits.conf of clustered indexer, with new parameters.

I'll have to create an app on deployment server to deploy it to indexers via masternode. In the app, do I need to create a limits.conf with all parameters already existing  on the indexers limits.conf + the new parameters to add, or do I have to put only the new parameters to add to the limits.conf ?

Thank you for your help

Your custom limits.conf file only needs your custom parameters (plus the relevant stanza name(s)).
