Hi @Quantum ..

You can use this command:

| rest /services/server/info | table host host_fqdn server_roles 

 

Please check this Splunk document:

thanks and best regards,

Hi

one way to get some hints for its role is use REST API. For local server you can try 

| rest /services/server/roles splunk_server=local
| fields splunk_server role_list

Of course this expecting that those servers are added as a search peers to that node. You can add only one splunk_server only  on command arguments, but you could use wildcards.

Another way is use curl on command line to access remote to those servers.
