notable index forwarding into indexer cluster.

we have our environment in google cloud platform where we have SH cluster with 3 SH.
and earlier the issue was notable index data was getting stored locally in each search head to fix this we have created the notable index at indexer cluster and then forwarded the SH data toward the Indexer cluster using "indexer discovery" method, now the problem is the configuration (props.conf & transform.conf) which were responsible to redirect the data to notable index locally (each SH) are not taking effect to forward the data into notable index created in indexer cluster. however internal index data are forwarding now in the indexer cluster.

Hello @AShwin1119 Would you be able to confirm why we need to have props / transforms configuration? As far as I understand, we can just have default _TCP_ROUTING configured to send all SH events to Indexers through outputs configurations - isn't it?
