Deployment Architecture

Architecture discovery

I have inherited what I believe to be an incomplete deployment of Splunk that I need to get my arms around. I am new to Splunk at the enterprise level. I believe the deployment is incomplete in that I am unable to search from the search heads against indexes in the Index servers.

I have 12 servers labeled as indexers, search heads, masters, and dist manager. Is there any one point where I can see all of the servers configured to communicate in this architecture for discovery and enumeration purposes of is this a manual process (log into each one)?

Thanks in advance

You should be able to see your environment details from Distributed Management Console in Splunk. See this for more details

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.6/Admin/ConfiguretheMonitoringConsole

The application S.O.S can also help if above is not available. https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/748/

Thanks... turns out the architecture was not precisely as documented. The DMC helped clear the mystery.
