Getting Data In

After editing monitoring console in a distributed system, why does the search head(SH) server shows both as an indexer and SH?

I have one indexer + one SH, on the Monitor console.
After configuring monitoring console to a distributed system and applying changes, the SH server shows as both indexer and SH.

Is this expected?

Hi, you should be able to edit server roles in "Monitoring Console" by going to Settings > General Setup > Edit Server Roles (under Action drop-down).

I also configured SH to forward its internal index to indexer as well.
