Storage requirements for tsidx namespaces

Splunk App for VMware uses tsidx stats to offer better search acceleration than is possible using either summary indexing or report acceleration. Tsidx is similar to summary indexing, in that it allows for dramatically improved performance. When using tsidx stats, Splunk App for VMware creates a number of tsidx namespaces that are used to store the summary statistical data used by the dashboards in the app. Summary data for Splunk App for VMware 3.x is stored on the search head, except in a search head pooled environment. In a search head pooled environment, summary data for Splunk App for VMware is stored in shared storage that can be accessed by all search heads. The default size for a tsidx namespace file is 500000MB (488.28GB).
