Splunk Search

Is there a setting to have the license usage search look at _internal data of another server?

Noticed today, since the 6.2.4 update, I get daily license usage just fine. When I go to history, it's blank.

Did the search on the graph and noticed that it's pulling the _internal from the indexer server, not the search head (which is my master license server.) If I put splunk_server=Searchheadservername in the search string, I get data fine.

Is there a setting somewhere that would tell it to look at the _internal of another server (like a user setting for search defaults) or a way to modify the license page to account for this?

Anyone else had this before?

Thanks

Issue has resolved itself, sort of, over night. Yesterday's data shows, but that is it. The Output.conf file appears to have been ignored, a reboot of Splunk on all three servers resolved it. So data was on the search head _internal index, not on the Indexers as it should have been. Will watch closer for errors.

Small update, I do have the search head / license master set to forward all logs to the indexers.
