Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to providing dynamic indexer discovery. An index manager, which may also be known as a cluster master, is configured to track the statuses and capabilities of indexers and provide the statuses and capabilities obtained from the indexers to data collectors, such as forwarders. The data collectors may use the statuses and capabilities associated with the indexers to load balance transmission of data to the indexers. Dynamic indexer discovery may eliminate the need to manually reconfigure data collectors when the status of an indexer changes because the information may be obtained from the index manager without the need to reinitialize the data collectors.
