https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/detecting-when-an-indexer-is-down/m-p/108764#M22873 <P>How can I detect when an indexer is down? Is there an api call to poll for the status of the indexer? Or will a failing indexer report a problem - raise a flag, throw and exception, etc? I am using the REST api for a custom application. I need to know if an indexer fails when I execute a query that takes a long time to complete.</P> Wed, 25 May 2011 09:33:51 GMT rubenstoll 2011-05-25T09:33:51Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/detecting-when-an-indexer-is-down/m-p/108764#M22873 <P>How can I detect when an indexer is down?
