topic Is their such a configuration as multiple indexers in an enterprise environment but not consider it a cluster? in Splunk Dev https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Is-their-such-a-configuration-as-multiple-indexers-in-an/m-p/432160#M7741 <P>I have an environment with three search heads, three indexers, one license server (also acts as the deployer), and one deployment server (distributing forwarder configurations, inputs.conf). This environment is setup with a replication factor of 2. </P> <P>Would you say the above configuration is distributed as well as clustered?</P> <P>Also, does cluster alway refer to the indexer group or is it right to say "we have a search head cluster" as well as " we have an index cluster"?</P> <P>Thanks<BR /> Gary</P> Tue, 29 Jan 2019 21:53:50 GMT usanasplunkadmi 2019-01-29T21:53:50Z Is their such a configuration as multiple indexers in an enterprise environment but not consider it a cluster? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Is-their-such-a-configuration-as-multiple-indexers-in-an/m-p/432160#M7741 <P>I have an environment with three search heads, three indexers, one license server (also acts as the deployer), and one deployment server (distributing forwarder configurations, inputs.conf).
