The Inherited Deployment manual offers some suggestions.  See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.2/InheritedDeployment/MCdiscovery

There's no one perfect method for all environments.  If you're lucky, the Monitoring Console is up-to-date and you can just look there.

If you're less fortunate, you can get many indexer names using SPL.

| tstats count where index=* by splunk_server | fields - count

The latter method most likely will yield only server names.  You'll then need to use a method appropriate for your environment to map them to IP addresses.
