Explanation

In a distributed environment, knowledge object bundles are replicated from the search head to the SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/searchpeers directory on the search peer(s). A knowledge object bundle is a compressed file that contains the knowledge objects, such as fields, lookups, macros, and tags, that are required for a search. A search peer is a Splunk instance that provides data to a search head in a distributed search. A search head is a Splunk instance that coordinates and executes a search across multiple search peers. When a search head initiates a search, it creates a knowledge object bundle and replicates it to the search peers that are involved in the search. The search peers store the knowledge object bundle in the SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/searchpeers directory, which is a temporary directory that is cleared when the Splunk service restarts. The search peers use the knowledge object bundle to apply the knowledge objects to the data and return the results to the search head. The SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/searchpeers, SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/searchpeers, and SPLUNK_HOME/var/spool/searchpeers directories are not the locations where the knowledge object bundles are replicated, because they do not exist in the Splunk file system
