Why is there a delay in applying field extraction updates?
Whenever I update a field extraction, both from the search head UI field extraction helper, and via props.conf or transforms.conf, it always takes several minutes before the changes take effect.
- Why?
- Is there any way to speed it up?
- Is there anything to monitor in the splunk logs (_internal index) to know when the update has taken effect so I don't have to just rerun the search over and over.
Some possibly relevant details:
Version 6.5.0
Search head clustering in use
props.conf/transforms.conf changes applied from a search head deployer node, and pushed via splunk apply shcluster-bundle.

You can try a bump or a refresh but the latter will probably take longer than waiting:

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I've always wondered about this and found it annoying.

Don't know direct answer to your question. I do know that adding | extract reload=true to your searches will force reload at search time which is helpful if the problem statement is troubleshooting field extractions.
