hi experts

trying to deploy a HF and forward logs to 2 different indexers. clone data
i have 2 UFs feeding windows and syslog logs respectively to a HF.

This is my HF output conf, i think there some thing wrong here as i can only see logs at my indexer1

[tcpout]
defaultGroup=windows,syslog
[tcpout:windows,syslog]
server=indexer1 ip:9997

[tcpout:windows,syslog]
server=indexer2 ip:9997

appreciate any help.

Hi @siuolkl,

don't use default group:

[tcpout]

[tcpout:ABC_1]
server=indexer1_ip:9997

[tcpout:ABC_2]
server=indexer2;ip:9997

remember that the group names in the stanza headers (tcpout:...) must be different not the same.

Ciao.
