You don't "have to" use any load balancer at all. Or you can use one, or two.</P> Tue, 21 Feb 2017 22:37:25 GMT woodcock 2017-02-21T22:37:25Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/In-a-Multi-Site-Search-head-cluster-do-we-have-to-use-the-F5/m-p/279283#M10523 <P>In a Multi-Site Search head cluster, do we have to use the F5 load balancer in both Data centers? Or do we have to use single F5 load balancer for all search heads in both Data centers? </P> Mon, 06 Feb 2017 16:55:14 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/In-a-Multi-Site-Search-head-cluster-do-we-have-to-use-the-F5/m-p/279283#M10523 ankithreddy777 2017-02-06T16:55:14Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/In-a-Multi-Site-Search-head-cluster-do-we-have-to-use-the-F5/m-p/279284#M10524 <P>To nit-pick: there is no such thing as a <STRONG>multi-site</STRONG> search head cluster. What you can do is to "stretch" a search head cluster across two data centers. A single load-balancer should front all search heads in that search head cluster.</P> Mon, 06 Feb 2017 17:50:34 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/In-a-Multi-Site-Search-head-cluster-do-we-have-to-use-the-F5/m-p/279284#M10524 s2_splunk 2017-02-06T17:50:34Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/In-a-Multi-Site-Search-head-cluster-do-we-have-to-use-the-F5/m-p/279285#M10525 <P>It is entirely up to you.
