Hi
When i search in Splunk I only find logs in last 52 days I need to increase the retention period to be available and searchable for 6 mounths how can I do it?
Should I increase the Cold data ?
I have 3 indexers(Clustered) should I do it for 3 Indexers?
any advice please
thanks
Hi @saeed,
You should set maxTotalDataSizeMB and frozenTimePeriodInSecs values.
maxTotalDataSizeMB should be calculated based on daily ingestion raw GB using below formula;
maxTotalDataSizeMB = DailyGB * 1024 * 180 / IndexerCount
If your index is ingesting 100GB/day raw data.
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 100 * 1024 * 180 / 3
maxTotalDataSizeMB = 6144000
frozenTimePeriodInSecs should be calculated based on retention days;
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 86400 * RetentionMonths * 30
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 86400 * 6 * 30
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 15552000
