Can I add a new index using web console on linux cluster master? I prefer this to cli methods.
Will it automatically validate bundle, apply to peers and do a rolling restart of peers?

In a clustered environment, you should use the cluster master to push out indexes to all search peers (indexers). See page 195 of this document for more info on creating and deploying the indexes.conf file from a cluster master. This has to be done by editing the indexes.conf directly. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.1/Indexer/Setupmultipleindexes
