Hello all.
We are about to implement a new clustered environment and the way we have indexes are concerning us on if we're doing the right thing or not. We currently have an index per application varying from OS Infra data to logs to special perfmon commands for web servers, etc. I recall while reading the docs that the master said something about only handling like 8 indexes nicely on a beefy server.
Our question is, how many indexes can a clustered environment (master node, 3 indexers, 3 search heads, and a deployment server) handle nicely? If we stick to having a few indexes per app + OS index, were looking at this kind of math:
1 OS Index + (2 Indexes * 450 Applications) = at least 901 indexes. Is that an insane amount of indexes?
(PS: we currently only have a single instance with about 15 indexes total and planning to expand to the above math over the next year or 2)
