Hi

You can use the below command to rebuild the buckets, from the raw data file alone.

$plunk_home/bin/splunk rebuild

You can use the fsck command on the indexers to repair them as well.

$plunk_home/bin/splunk fsck repair --all-buckets-all-indexes

his will rebuild hot/warm/cold in all indexes.

If you require it in a single index, then you can use the below command.

$plunk_home/bin/splunk fsck repair --all-buckets-one-index --index-name=

Below is the document which will help you to understand better.

Hi,

Splunk built-in "rebuild" command is for single bucket. The indexer automatically deletes the old index and metadata files and rebuilds them. You don't need to delete any files yourself.

You can use the below command to rebuild a single bucket

splunk rebuild (name of the bucket directory)

Refer the below link for more details regarding the same.

The rebuild command can rebuild one data bucket at a time. DOes your directory_name is full/relative path to your data bucket that you want to rebuild?
