Scheduled Searches and Multiple Searchheads

[rmorlen]

How are scheduled searches handled for an app if the app is installed on multiple searchheads? Will the search run on both searcheads? (Searchhead pooling is disabled.)

[bwooden · Accepted solution]

Correct. If the searchheads are not in a pool, they will each run all searches which are enabled and scheduled. They are independent and unaware of each other.

In searchhead pooling, the first searchhead that receives a lock will run that specific search at that scheduled time. Each scheduled time is up for grabs by any searchhead participating in a pool.
