splunk config such as props.conf index.conf limits.conf in distributed environment

[perlish]

Hi,everyone
I have an distributed environment.
one search header one forwarder and six indexer.
After i config props.conf in search header, wheather i need to copy props.conf to the six indexer?
Same question as limits.conf and index.conf.

I fount even if i didn`t copy props.conf to indexer, i still can use the difined field to search.
But if this,will the performance worse than copy props.conf to indexer?

Thanks.

Some props configurations had to be in the SH and other had to be in the IDX, so you just need to configure the settings in the right place.

search head distribute knowledge bundles(system, apps, users directory) to indexers when connection is established.
Indexed related things you can configure in indexers like set the size of an index etc...
search time field extration distribute to indexer by search head when connection is established with indexer
