The Indexer component acts as an internal datastore used by BMC TrueSight IT Data Analytics, for storing all the data that is collected by using Collection Stations and Collection Agents.
This component provides the indexing capability for all the log data. The Indexer stores the data in a way that makes searching it easier. It also stores the raw log data that can be seen in the search results. All the data is stored in a time series way to enable faster searching. The Collection Station interacts with the Indexer to send all the configured log data. Primarily the Search and Collection Station components interact with the Indexer for searching and indexing data.
Each Indexer operates within the Indexer cluster, which is a group of multiple Indexers that can communicate with each other and help you collect and search data more effectively. Data collected and searched is distributed across all the Indexers present in the cluster. For more information, see Indexer cluster.
