splunk offline

amurleopard

          Used to shutdown the peer in a way that doesn't affect existing 
searches. The master rearranges the primary peers for buckets, and actually
	fixes up the cluster state as much as possible in case the 
enforce-counts flag is set. ie trying to maintain the replication and search 
factor
	for the cluster.

     Syntax:

        offline [--flag]

     Required Parameters:

	NONE

     Optional Parameters:

          auth       <username>:<password>

     Flags:

	enforce-counts  If this flag is used, the cluster is completely fixed 
up before this peer is taken down.
		        ie the Replication factor and search factor for the 
cluster are honored to the maximum possible extent.

			Without this flag, the master will simple rearrange the 
primaries and timeout after 5 minutes(by default),
			The amount of time the master waits for the peer is 
configurable using the "restart_timeout" parameter using
			the "./splunk edit cluster-config" command.

     Examples:

          ./splunk offline -auth admin:changeme

          ./splunk offline --enforce-counts

          ./splunk offline
