I have a search head cluster and a deployer to push apps to the SH cluster. The deployer does not have a SH role and does not search _internal logs of the search head cluster. I installed the Search Activity app on the deployer in order to get insights on the searches done on the cluster. However, the app doesn't function correctly because of tha absence of interanal logs of the SH cluster. Is it advisable to give the SH role to the deployer to solve this?
Can you deployer search your indexers? I'm hoping all your SHC internal logs being forwarded to indexers.
Best practice would be do stand up another instance for DMC and have your search activity app installed there along with other monitoring. This way all your monitoring would be in one place.
I agree with this!
