Hello,

We currently in the process of moving to indexer clustering with 3 new servers. The 3 old servers are standalone. After setting up the 3 new cluster peers and verify that the command ran for this are correct, i decided to send data to them. In my outputs.conf, i have only specified ONE peer from the new indexer cluster. However, when data is sent and indexed, the search head shows the splunk_server field with a value of our old server There are no references to that server name in any of the conf files either.. My machine has never sent data to the old servers so i am not sure whats going....alt text
