Alerting

How to move alerts on different server

In order to improve the Splunk performance in a single server installation I added a search head - The new server is now also a master licensing server and the previous one is configured as slave -

Should be possible to move from the old index server to the new search head the alerts generation or is a role/function that runs only on the index server.

You can run alerts both in search head and indexer until you have only one indexer (or an indexer cluster).
To move them from indexer to search head, you have to copy app that contains alerts and disable alerts in indexer.
