Could someone please tell me in really simple terms what I need to do to access the data on the indexer from the search head?</P> Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:34:31 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-you-make-a-Search-Head-talk-to-an-Indexer/m-p/180398#M36175 proletariat99 2015-01-09T18:34:31Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-you-make-a-Search-Head-talk-to-an-Indexer/m-p/180399#M36176 <P>Try this:</P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/DistSearch/Configuredistributedsearch">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/DistSearch/Configuredistributedsearch</A></P> Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:38:02 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-you-make-a-Search-Head-talk-to-an-Indexer/m-p/180399#M36176 mparks11 2015-01-09T18:38:02Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-you-make-a-Search-Head-talk-to-an-Indexer/m-p/180400#M36177 <P>Hi proletariat99,</P> <P>How about the docs <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/DistSearch/Configuredistributedsearch">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/DistSearch/Configuredistributedsearch</A> where you get multiple ways to do it.</P> <P>cheers, MuS</P> Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:40:49 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-you-make-a-Search-Head-talk-to-an-Indexer/m-p/180400#M36177 MuS 2015-01-09T18:40:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-do-you-make-a-Search-Head-talk-to-an-Indexer/m-p/180401#M36178 <P>Thanks man.
