Slunk license is based on the amount you ingest in a 24 hour period, you get 500 mb per 24 hour per period.

Two solutions

One: chop the data into smaller chunks of 500 mb per day. Spunk will work just fine.

Two: License spline but for 90 GB would be a bit costly.

Three: Feed it all to Splunk as lookups! :-D

feeding will reach the maximum limit as well, right? i got the yellow warning saying it has exceeded.. I read in licensing info that if the warning exists it will be counted as a license violation, resulting to blocking of testing version of Splunk...

Ayn is correct,

Think of a summary index as an index of data that has already been ingested.

So if I think about what you are doing above, you have about 90GB that spunk has never seen before, so with out an enterprise license you would be limited to 500MB per day.

Note: Summary indexing volume is not counted against your license.

It means that any summary indexing you are doing will not be counted when the amount of indexed data is retrieved. If you don't know what summary indexing is, here is some information on it in the docs: docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Knowledge/Usesummaryindexing

you have about 90GB that spunk has never seen before
