Do we need to set up anything specific for an indexer internal logs to see .We just added the indexer and I can see logs coming from that indexer from diff inputs but not its own internal logs.I can see its won logs if I log into the indexer.How do I see them on the search head

Are you running Indexer Cluster ? I have seen this type of issue (not remember exact issue ) and it was configuration issue in distsearch.conf, someone configured distsearch.conf however it was not require because our SH was pointing to Cluster Master.

Is it happening only for that one indexer OR all the indexers?

Do you have distsearch.conf on Search Head ? Are your Search Head pointing to Cluster Master ?
