Abstract

Resegmenting chunks of data for load balancing is disclosed. A plurality of first chunks of data is received. The plurality of first chunks of data includes one or more entries that include raw data produced by a component of an information technology environment and that reflects activity in the information technology environment. The plurality of first chunks of data is resegmented into a plurality of second chunks of data based on a source type of the plurality of first chunks. A first subset of the plurality of second chunks of data is distributed to a first indexer of a set of indexers.
