I need to change the location of all DB on first run, as the /opt/splunk doesn't have space to support the data.
When I try to put a fresh 7.0.1 extract down for a new install and then before the first start
edit /opt/splunk/etc/splunk-launch.conf
SPLUNK_DB=/home/build/build-home/splunk-home/var/lib/splunk
SPLUNK_DB=/san1/splunk_db
It creates the directory structure on first run but brings everything performance wise down to the point that the CLI and web page is unresponsive. Result is an install that is not functional.
I have also tried (to see if the directory is the issue to use /opt/splunk/splunk_db) and had the same issues
If I omit that step and let it create the default path under /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk it works fine and has no performance issues.
It seems that changing this variable, before first launch, to set the location for ALL DB is no longer correct?
