Hi,
I have a multi-part question. First, can a 6.3 Heavy Forwarder sent to a 6.1 indexer? And second, can I use the index parallelization functionality on the 6.3 HFW to send this data? (Might be called serialization?). My scenario is that I have a layer of HFWs which collect syslog and tcp data from a load-balancer. I get a lot of traffic from these feeds. I was wondering if using 6.3 and enabling the multi-pipeline functionality would increase my throughput. (Or at the very least, allow me to take advantage of unused cycles on these vm's).
Ah, RTFB, my all time favorite. (Joking)...
Seriously though, I installed it, is there a way to validate the number of pipelines in use?

Found it - from splunkd.log:
