How to fix this slave indexed data/sourcetype without a corresponding license pool

klim — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 18:27:10 GMT

I created a search head and an indexer and the search head is acting as the master license server. I added the tutorial data to the search head https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.1/SearchTutorial/GetthetutorialdataintoSplunk

The indexer is associated with the master license server. On the search head I am getting the license error of 1 orphaned indexer reported by 1 indexer and the message is "this slave indexed data/sourcetype(s) without a corresponding license pool" and the indexer is the master license server and category is orphan_slave.

I read in other answers related to this that the sourcetypes need to be in a license pool. I added the two host of the search head and indexer to the license pool via the specific indexers option however I am still getting the same error. Will this error go away or am I still in violation?
