To a physical server? If so, doesn't that defeat the purpose?</P> Mon, 25 Aug 2014 00:20:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Where-do-I-point-my-REST-API-if-I-have-search-head-pooling/m-p/193266#M38543 a212830 2014-08-25T00:20:12Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Where-do-I-point-my-REST-API-if-I-have-search-head-pooling/m-p/193267#M38544 <P>Well , you'd likely connect through your load balancer which would route your connection request to 1 of the instances of the Search Head Pool and maintain affinity to that instance for the duration of your REST API session connection.</P> <P>Or , you could connect to each Search Head instance directly. Really depends on the use case you are trying to satisfy.</P> Mon, 25 Aug 2014 04:15:30 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Where-do-I-point-my-REST-API-if-I-have-search-head-pooling/m-p/193267#M38544 Damien_Dallimor 2014-08-25T04:15:30Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Where-do-I-point-my-REST-API-if-I-have-search-head-pooling/m-p/193268#M38545 <P>OK, my load-balancer listen for the management port - it listens on port 8000 - do people setup a separate load-balance for the REST API, or am I missing something?</P> Mon, 25 Aug 2014 04:41:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Where-do-I-point-my-REST-API-if-I-have-search-head-pooling/m-p/193268#M38545 a212830 2014-08-25T04:41:12Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Where-do-I-point-my-REST-API-if-I-have-search-head-pooling/m-p/193269#M38546 <P>8000 is your Splunk Web port.
