How to update the search head configuration from the cluster master?

[mciudad]

I'm trying to update the configuration of all the peers from my cluster master. With the indexers, it's eash to put the configuration file in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/slave_apps/_cluster/local and then the indexer receives it, but I can't find any way to update the search head. Is there any similar (or not similar) way of doing it?

Thank you.

Hi @mciudad

If you're trying to update configurations for search heads in a search head cluster, you should be using the Deployer instance to push changes. Check out this page from Splunk documentation covering how to configure the Deployer and how to push a configuration bundle to the search head cluster members.
