Hi,
Two questions…
1.) By Default, how many replicas are created when Dataminer adds a new index to Opensearch?
2.) how do I change this default?
I have a seven node cluster, with zones configured, so I need to make sure at least one host in each zone has a replica. In reality, I’m going to set the replicas to 6 so every node should have a copy.
Thanks
Chris

Answering my own question… There’s a persistent setting that can be applied. It would be nice if this could be done through the Elastic/Opensearch cluster monitor
PUT /_cluster/settings
{
“persistent” : {
“cluster.default_number_of_replicas”: 6
}
}
