Hi,
I have a Splunk Search Head Cluster set up with a F5 LTM load balancer in front. This is set up for the Splunk web interface, but would it make sense to do the same for the management port? I don't do any authentication on the F5 LTM.
I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem as long a we're using sticky sessions and no authentication on the LTM since the 8089 Management Port doesn't honour the X-Remote-User header anyway so we'd have to log in never the less, but what would you suggest?
This would make sense if you're doing a lot of API (REST) calls against the SHC. You can load balance that in the same manner you are doing web (8000 or 443.)

So no pitfalls to be aware of? Nothing in small print stating that this shouldn't be done?
