Explanation

The search specifies splunk_server_group=HOUSTON, meaning the search should be executed on the HOUSTON server group. In distsearch.conf, the configuration under must include the correct list of servers (houston1:8089, [distributedSearch:HOUSTON] houston2:8089). The section includes all servers for distributed [distributedSearch] search (nyc1:8089, nyc2:8089, houston1:8089, houston2:8089). This allows Splunk to access both the NYC and Houston server groups for the search execution.
