Hello!
I have index in cluster which has data. And i need to change frozenTimePeriodInSecs and maxTotalDataSizeMB parameters. Can i manually edit it in %Splunk%\etc\master-apps_cluster\local\indexes.conf or i need to do it by another way?

Yes, in your case the first step is to edit the file in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/master-apps/_cluster/local/indexes.conf manually on the cluster master. Then you need to roll out the configuration bundle to the indexer peers either through the web ui or the CLI on the master node as described: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.2/Indexer/Updatepeerconfigurations

Double and triple check those settings are correct before pushing the configuration out since as soon as each peer updates it'll start freezing/deleting data that now qualifies with your new settings if they're accidentally too small.

I was so far from what Konstantinow asked. I think that is the correct answer.
Thanks again.
