I can't see my data being indexed. I have checked the outputs and inputs .confirm and the correct server and ports is mentioned.
What all can be checked apart from this to triage.

Are you running a single instance, or is your indexer separate from your search head? Is the data you're attempting to index on your indexer, search head, or a separate forwarder?
