Hi lksridhar,

Did you mean search head polling (instead of pooling) in your question?

Note that feature has been deprecated as of Splunk Enterprise version 6.2 and has been replaced by searh head clustering. This means that although it continues to function, it might be removed in a future version.
Please refer to documentation here:

Hope it helps. Thanks!
