Hi,
If I have Search-Head-Pooling configured, where do I point my REST API? To a physical server? If so, doesn't that defeat the purpose?
Well , you'd likely connect through your load balancer which would route your connection request to 1 of the instances of the Search Head Pool and maintain affinity to that instance for the duration of your REST API session connection.
Or , you could connect to each Search Head instance directly. Really depends on the use case you are trying to satisfy.

Thought so. OK, thanks!
8000 is your Splunk Web port. You'd need a Load Balancing rule for HTTPS protocol on port 8089 (or whatever port you have setup for you management port) and with session affinity/sticky session configured.
OK, my load-balancer listen for the management port - it listens on port 8000 - do people setup a separate load-balance for the REST API, or am I missing something?
