Does Cluster Manager pass peer's IP or FQDN to forwarders when indexer discovery enabled ?

[dm1]

I have a concern about indexer discovery. Will the forwarders learn the IP of the indexers, or will it learn the hostname/fqdn?

Hi

I'm not 100% sure, but as this REST query shows, internally it use IPs.
