Hi,
If I have Search-Head-Pooling configured, where do I point my REST API? To a physical server? If so, doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Well , you'd likely connect through your load balancer which would route your connection request to 1 of the instances of the Search Head Pool and maintain affinity to that instance for the duration of your REST API session connection.
Or , you could connect to each Search Head instance directly. Really depends on the use case you are trying to satisfy.

8000 is your Splunk Web port. You'd need a Load Balancing rule for HTTPS protocol on port 8089 (or whatever port you have setup for you management port) and with session affinity/sticky session configured.

OK, my load-balancer listen for the management port - it listens on port 8000 - do people setup a separate load-balance for the REST API, or am I missing something?
