Getting Data In

After making a change to props.conf TIME_FORMAT and SHOULD_LINEMERGE attributes, do I restart splunkd on my deployment server or indexer?

After making a change to my props.conf TIME_FORMAT and SHOULD_LINEMERGE attribute (multiple events started merging together) I want to reload my props.conf. My question is whether i will need to restart splunkd on my deploymentserver or my indexer? I have tried "| extract reload=T" but it did not work.

Those are index-time settings so you need to deploy them to your Indexers (and Heavy Forwarders) and restart the Splunk instance (splunkd) on each server.
