A new single-site three indexer cluster is being stood up with replication_factor:2, search_factor:2. At which step would the Indexer Cluster be classed as ‘Indexing Ready’ and be able to ingest new data?

Step 1: Install and configure Cluster Master (CM)/Master Node with base clustering stanza settings, restarting CM.

Step 2: Configure a base app in etc/master-apps on the CM to enable a splunktcp input on port 9997 and deploy index creation configurations.

Step 3: Install and configure Indexer 1 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, download the latest config bundle.

Step 4: Indexer 1 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.

Step 5: Install and configure Indexer 2 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle

Step 6: Indexer 2 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.

Step 7: Install and configure Indexer 3 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle.

Step 8: Indexer 3 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.
