How can we check the indexer destination settings in outputs.conf on a forwarder?

To check the indexer destination settings in outputs.conf on a forwarder, utilizing the command to list the forward-server configurations is the most appropriate choice. This command provides an overview of the configured indexer or forward-server connections, which directly relate to the destination settings specified in outputs.conf.

When you run the command to list forward-servers, it displays the current settings for any indexers the forwarder is configured to send data to. This includes important details such as the hostnames or IP addresses of the indexers and the respective connection status. Therefore, this command is specifically designed to show you which indexers your forwarder is attempting to communicate with and can effectively help you verify the outputs.conf settings.

The other options, while they may provide various configurations or settings, do not specifically address indexer destination settings as directly as the command to list forward-servers.
