Final answer:

To check the indexer destination settings on a forwarder, such as in Splunk, run the command 'splunk list forward-server' from the CLI.

Step-by-step explanation:

To check the indexer destination settings on a forwarder, particularly in the context of Splunk, you use the command splunk list forward-server. This command is run from the command line interface on the forwarder machine. It will display the current forwarding configurations, including the indexer destination settings. This information is crucial for ensuring that the forwarder is correctly sending data to the intended indexer for aggregation and analysis.

To check the indexer destination settings on a forwarder, you can use the splunk show shcluster-status command.

This command will display information about the current status of the search head cluster.

You can also use the splunk show shcluster-config command to view the configuration details of the search head cluster.
