My understanding is that autoLB only works within a given group and not multiple indexer groups.</P> Fri, 16 Jun 2017 18:13:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-have-multiple-TCP-output-groups-in-outputs/m-p/356404#M65102 sunnybrarjpmc 2017-06-16T18:13:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-have-multiple-TCP-output-groups-in-outputs/m-p/356405#M65103 <P>Is it two different Splunk environments?

We have an existing environment consisting of non-clustered indexers and a new group of clustered indexers that will be joining in. We'll be listing all clustered and non-clustered ones individually in outputs.conf but both sets use different certificates. We want the data to be spread (not duplicated) across both sets, and then we'll eventually stop the flow to the old ones.</P> Fri, 16 Jun 2017 21:22:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-have-multiple-TCP-output-groups-in-outputs/m-p/356406#M65104 sunnybrarjpmc 2017-06-16T21:22:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-have-multiple-TCP-output-groups-in-outputs/m-p/356407#M65105 <P>You are correct; autoLB only happens within a group. Everything goes to each group and within each group there is load-balancing. There is no functional difference, though. Why would you desire to abstract a simple configuration that way?</P> Fri, 16 Jun 2017 21:50:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-have-multiple-TCP-output-groups-in-outputs/m-p/356407#M65105 woodcock 2017-06-16T21:50:08Z
