Which tool is used to update indexers in ES?

The tool used to update indexers in Enterprise Security (ES) is Distributed Configuration Management. This tool is specifically designed to orchestrate and manage configuration changes across distributed Splunk environments, including indexers. It ensures that the proper configurations are applied uniformly across all indexers, facilitating consistency and reducing the risk of human error when configuring multiple instances.

This is especially important in a security context, where data integrity and consistent configurations are crucial for effective monitoring and analysis. Distributed Configuration Management allows for centralized control over configurations, making it easier to push updates and maintain the desired state across the indexer cluster.

Since managing index configurations is critical for ensuring that data is indexed correctly and efficiently, utilizing a tool that specifically addresses distributed management needs is essential for operational effectiveness in security monitoring and analytics.
