How do you make sure that a specific index of the indexers can be searched from the search head?

Hello.

In the distributed search function, I want to make sure that specific index of the indexers can be searched from the search head.

How can I do this?

ex)
- Search Head
- Indexer-1 : All indexes
- Indexer-2 : _audit (Just one index)

Thank you.

Hi,

As far as I know you can't achieve this. When you create role on search head and assign specific indexes access & when you run search on search head in distributed environment, the search distribute to all the indexers so you can't restrict to only search _audit index from indexer2 and all indexes from indexer1.
