I keep getting a message stating that I do not have enough space. I went to general settings to adjust the limitation. When I go to save it, it is requesting that I enter a kv port which I know my 32 bit laptop does not support. Is there anyway around this? I am just trying to get through the fundamentals training.
Thanks in advance
Hi crystalkirkland,
use your favourite editor and open the file $SPLUNK_HOME\etc\system\local\server.conf
and add the following:
[diskUsage]
minFreeSpace = <num>|<percentage>
the num per is in MB and percentage can be like 1%
. Restart Splunk once you saved the file.
Hope this helps ...
cheers, MuS

So all I have to do is put this in notepad and save it to my computer and it should work? I don't have to do anything in splunk itself?
Thank you so much
Ok great, and I just wanted to make sure.....is line 3 supposed to be blank? Your're a life saver
blank lines are no problem at all in Splunk configuration files 😉

When you change settings in the Splunk web UI, it will modify config files in the background - so in the end both approaches are doing exactly the same.
