Search Head Clustering • Room 1

SHC Architecture

A Search Head Cluster (SHC) provides high availability for search. Members share knowledge objects, and a dynamically elected Captain coordinates job scheduling and artifact replication.

The Deployer is a separate server that pushes app bundles to all SHC members simultaneously, ensuring consistent configurations across the cluster.
