Hi,
Thinking... if you configure all the indexes.conf in the peers, the changes will not take effects after you restart, so it will be fine if you configure all the indexes.conf with a small retention and then from the master make a cluster-bundle.
The master will deploy the configuration, in your case nothing... but will control the restart of the indexers.
But you should think in use master-apps to deploy these files in the future.
hope i help you.
