How can I setup the data retention policy for internaldb logs?

I would like to setup the data retention policy only for 10 days for below internaldb logs to avoid the space issues in Splunk.
/opt/splunk/indexer/splunk/var/lib/splunk/_internaldb/db

Can someone tell me where to update the configuration stanza.

Thanks,
Ramu Chittiprolu

You can configure retention policy per index like this:

[_internal]
homePath   = $SPLUNK_DB/_internaldb/db
coldPath   = $SPLUNK_DB/_internaldb/colddb
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/_internaldb/thaweddb
tstatsHomePath = volume:_splunk_summaries/_internaldb/datamodel_summary
maxDataSize = 1000
maxHotSpanSecs = 432000
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 864000
