The indexes will not show up until they receive some data. Are you sending data to the indexes?

You said that you are receiving events. Look at the events in your search head and verify the index of the events.

inputs.conf and outputs.conf on FORWARDER:
[monitor:///DATA/DNlog/DN.log.*]
sourcetype = DNlog
index = IDX-DN
host = LogDB
disabled = false

[tcpout]
defaultGroup = Peer_Group
maxQueueSize = 500MB
[tcpout:Peer_Group]
autoLB = true
autoLBFrequency = 1
useACK = true
server = 172.16.40.98:9997, 172.16.40.99:9997, ......

indexes.conf on PEER-NODEs:
[IDX-DN]
repFactor = auto
coldPath = $SPLUNK_DB/idx-dn/colddb
homePath = $SPLUNK_DB/idx-dn/db
maxDataSize = auto_high_volume
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/idx-dn/thaweddb

What is the value of index for the events that you are receiving? Could it be the default index? If so, you need to specify the index in the inputs.cont of your forwarder.
