Question related to clustring

[jatin3101]

I was just going thorugh the guide to integrate  the searchhead cluster and indexer cluster . So the last step is to run a command on each of the search head separately ( for integration with manger node ) 

so my question is that if in production we had 50-100 search heads then if we strated doing on each search head it will take so much time and efforr isnt their any other way

Hi There Dear Splunkers,

Hi @jatin3101 

Can you confirm the specific command you are running? If the SH is already part of a cluster then its likely you can push out the relevant configuration via the SH Deployer

For example:

# server.conf
[clustering]
manager_uri = https://yourCM:8089
pass4SymmKey = topSecretPassword

This should connect the SHC members to your IDXC.

50-100 search heads seems pretty large deployment.

-You can automate this using SH Deployer for SH Cluster members,
Configure server.conf from the deployer and push to all shc members.

-Or use Ansible, Puppet, Chef, or even a shell script with SSH to run the command across all SHs in parallel.
