How do you search for all data on one index server in a cluster?

We got a large Splunk distributed environment and for troubleshooting i want to search for all data in only one index server and not on the cluster.

I don't want the search or a search request to go to any of there other index servers.

Is this possible?

Hi,

just add a splunk_server=your indexer name

e.g. index=_internal splunk_server=your indexer name

to your search

Hi, yes that actually worked. I thought it would send the search to all index servers but it actually did not. Thank you.
