Hi,
During first time setup how to establish a connection between indexer and search head?
In forwarder we are giving indexer names in outputs.conf so a connection is established between forwarder and indexer. In the same way how to establish a connection between indexer and searchhead?
Hi @vijaysri,
If you want to connect a standalone indexer to your search head you can add it as a search peer as follows :
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.3/DistSearch/Configuredistributedsearch
If you want to connect an indexer cluster to your search head then you should connect your search head to the cluster master as follows :
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.3/Indexer/Enablethesearchhead
Let me know if this helps !
Cheers,
David
