Some background:
So we are having some problems in our environment, we have a cluster of indexers and some of the servers are close to getting full while others are at 50-60% free disk space (keep in mind they have the same amount if inital disk space).
Hot/warm is kept locally (and that is where the disk space problem resides) and cold is moved over to SAN.
I understand that there could be an issue with replication and that a couple of servers could have more disk space occupied,
Most of the indexes have the "homePath.maxDataSizeMB" set but some just are just rolled after a certain amount of time, as I wasn't the one setting it up and usually don't manage it so I don't know the reasons behind how and why everything was configured as it is.
My questions is:
Is there any way of balancing the indexes between indexers beside setting strict values or measuring indexed data per day vs. hot/warm disk space available?
The problem with this is that we have a lot of indexes (40+) and I don't really have the knowledge of the environment and time to make a judgement on how to tune it.
