Getting "Error while fetching apps baseline on target=http://:8089: Network-layer error: Connection reset by peer'" trying to deploy apps to a search head cluster

I'm having an issue running the command:

splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target http://<cluster_captain>:8089

This yields the error:

Error while deploying apps to first member: ConfDeploymentException: Error while fetching apps baseline on target=http://<cluster_captain>:8089: Network-layer error: Connection reset by peer

After numerous attempts to change my pass4symkey under the shclustering stanza in my server.conf file, I'm still getting the same error. When we had originally set up the search head cluster, this worked properly, but I can't seem to find a way to debug this issue.

Adding the -debug flag gives the following:

(1ry) FAILED: 'HTTP/1.1 500 Error while deploying apps to first member: ConfDeploymentException: Error while fetching apps baseline on target=http://<cluster_captain>:8089: Network-layer error: Connection reset by peer'

As I can restart all of my search heads in the cluster and it's able to reform a cluster, I don't believe this is a pass4symkey issue. Any suggestions what would cause this?

Use https instead of http . Splunk uses its own certificates although you server may not have SSL.

I happened to get the same error. It was because i have used deployer instance instead of search head instance in the command ./splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target https://"Use search head instance here"

did you ever figure out the issue?

I've confirmed https, pass4symmkey is correct, cleaned all my SHC instances, still this.
