Hi all,

is it possible to force splunk to use a specific ip for outbound traffic, like reaching a SHC captain.
We have two different ip address available on ou splunk server for using with splunk.
We use splunk-launch.conf:bind_ip, server.conf:mgmt_uri etc. for binding splunk to the ip address we want it to be binded.

But Splunk communicates with the other ip address to his shc captain (for example, same at indexer clustering)

Is it possible to define this outbound ip address?

Thanks for all your help!
