All,

Is there a way to get a report to run on a specific member of a search head cluster? Mainly I want to know for sure which member has the outputcsv.

thanks
-Daniel

Please refer to this post on a workaround to the fact that outputcsv results are not replicated in a SHC.

This may be a little over-reaching, but you can designate a member to run ad-hoc reports only, thus guaranteeing the report to run on the same SH each time

[shclustering]
adhoc_searchhead = true
