Hello,
I just discovered summary indexes (Oh joy! I can have results immediately instead of waiting a few minutes) and I'm starting to use them for a lot of my searches.
The question is: should I create multiple indexes, one for each summary search, or should I put all of them into one index? How efficient is Splunk at picking up summary search events from index using 'index=summary search_name="trololo"' ? "Everything in one index" is easier to use and maintain, but I want to avoid hitting a performance wall again after I accumulate some data.
So, for a lots of data and tens of summary searches, is it significantly faster to do
index='special-index-for-search-foo'
than
index='common-index' search_name='foo'
?
cheers,
Bob
