Getting Data In

App/Add-on

Hello,

I have an architecture with a single SH and two indexers. I've installed the Splunk for Microsoft 365 add-on on the search head, so the collected logs are stored in the search head's index, but I want them to be stored on the indexers. Can you help me?

Thank you.

@PaulPanther Thank you for your response, and does it not have any impact given that the indexers are not in a cluster?

@BRFZ  If you have no cluster the data are not replicated. So if one indexer goes down your search couldn't access all data.

1. Create the neccessary indexes on your indexer

2. Configure Best practice: Forward search head data to the indexer layer - Splunk Documentation
