Can the deployer and search head cluster members run on the same load balancer? I have a load balancer and the pool members behind the lb are search head members, captain. Can I have the deployer on the same load balancer or should I run independently outside lb?
Bit tricky, but my answer is it depends on your environment and risk factors
Using all the above analogy , my suggestion is to have SH-members in LB and Deployer to run separately.
Thanks for all the inputs. I will have the deployer out of the LB as a stand alone Splunk server.
Hi dhawal_sanghvi,
why you need to put your Deployer on Load Balancer?
Deployer is a single server (so it doesn't need LB) dedicated to manage Search Head Cluster and usually isn't accessed by users, but only by administrators.
Bye.
