Splunk indexers cluster

itzikshviro · ‎07-20-2019

Hi,
I have a lab setup with 1 SH, 1 Master node, 2 indexers peers.
My question is, which one of the indexers should act as the receiving server (from light forwarders).
Both of them?

Thanks

Both of them - no doubt ; -)

Yes. All forwarders should should have all indexers configured or use Indexer Discovery.
