Adding new indexer to indexer cluster

[ankithreddy777]

If a new indexer is added to the cluster. Do we need to manually push the cluster-bundle from master to indexers OR Cluster-bundle will be automatically pushed to new indexer once it communicates with the master?

[Steve_G_]

The indexer automatically downloads the bundle.

Discussed in the docs here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.0/Indexer/Updatepeerconfigurations#Distribution_of_t...

I couldn't find a reference that details the process in the docs, but in my experience new indexers get the bundle and are ready for production use immediately.
