Hey all,
I've searched for an answer to this but cannot see one, so apologies if this has been answered before.
I am using DB Connect 2 to pull big data (about 60000 events in 30 minuts from one database) from a variety of Oracle databases into indexes. I noticed that not all events are indexed. When I check the health tab in DB connect everything seems OK.
My observations:
1. When I go into the DB Connect Operations tab, I can verify that the data is there when I do the query preview, it's making it into the index.
2. When I am using dbquery in the search, all events from the database were returned, that's right.
3. I checked my _internal index, I did not find any errors.
4. Decreasing the "Fetch Size" parameter (from 5000 to 800, then to 300) seems to reduces the number of missed events, but still not all data is indexed.
5. The indexer often lacks a free swap, although there is free RAM. Maybe this is the problem?
Any help in where I can look to troubleshoot would be appreciated.
We have 1 indexer and several search head:
