1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
storing, in a central repository on a management node, configuration files for a plurality of node classes of a data intake and query system; and
propagating changes, to one of the configuration files for one of the node classes comprising search nodes responsible for performing search operations on data collected by the data intake and query system, using two-way replication between the management node and the search nodes via a mediator node of the search nodes.
