Yes, the search head cluster configuration is stored under the [shclustering] stanza in server.conf. For more info, see these docs:</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.1/admin/Serverconf#search_head_clustering_configuration">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.1/admin/Serverconf#search_head_clustering_configuration</A><BR /> <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.1/DistSearch/SHCconfigurationoverview">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.1/DistSearch/SHCconfigurationoverview</A></P> Wed, 06 Dec 2017 17:58:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Is-search-head-clustering-information-stored-in-any/m-p/328849#M12316 sroback_splunk 2017-12-06T17:58:40Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Is-search-head-clustering-information-stored-in-any/m-p/328850#M12317 <P>I have checked out server.conf, it apparently does not have any search head cluster member information. Does it mean I have to run splunk CLI to add/remove/list cluster members?</P> Thu, 07 Dec 2017 04:00:58 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Is-search-head-clustering-information-stored-in-any/m-p/328850#M12317 danielwan 2017-12-07T04:00:58Z
