Abstract

The present invention is related to a method for providing dynamic indexer discovery. The method comprises receiving, from an index manager, a status indication associated with a plurality of indexers, wherein each of the plurality of indexers indexes events of raw machine-generated data received from a plurality of data collectors. The method further comprises determining a weight associated with each of the plurality of indexers and selecting an indexer from the plurality of indexers. Subsequently, the method comprises allocating data to the indexer in accordance with a respective weight assigned to the indexer and transmitting the allocated data to the indexer.
