Has anyone had issues using the Splunk App for CEF in a Splunk 6.x environment with search head and indexer clustering?

Anyone have any issues with using the CEF app and have search head clustering along with indexer clusters?

I would think this is more common with these types of deployments. I was informed that the CEF app is not 'search head cluster compatible' yet that sounds odd with larger deployments. I would prefer to use this method rather than edit the outputs.conf and so on. Anyone have any comments with what they have done or ran into this?

Thanks!

Version 2.0 of the CEF now supports Search Head Clustering (see the release notes).
