Can an alert be run from a specific Search Head in a clustered environment? 

We would like to configure report from a specific search head that is in the clustered environment, and we dont want the report to be replicated across all of the SH's. 

Can we force to run the report from specific SH based on the app? 

Thanks,
Dhana

The scheduler distributes scheduled searches across the whole cluster (with an exception of the captain if it's configured as ad-hoc only) so you can't really force a particular search to be run on this single SH. That would defeat the point of creating a SHC in the first place. If you want a search-head to run some specific searches - just set up a non-clustered SH for it.
