Can we share the data Models present in the indexer server to the search heads which are related to apps?

[tadepallikrishn]

I have added the Splunk DB Connect app on my indexer server and loaded all my inputs to get the tables data and getting them to the search heads to create the dashboards. Along with the app we have the pre built data models in the DB Connect app which i want to use in the search & reporting app on the search heads without installing the DB Connect app on Search Heads.

Is there a way to do such? To share the Data models from the indexers to search heads which are related to apps ?

Shared datamodels are available as of Splunk 8x https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Knowledge/Sharedatamodelsummaries

Data models should live on search heads, only then can all indexers perform the same computations for that search head.

Inputs should not live on indexers, then you lose load balancing and failover.
