My end goal is to play with and set up indexer discovery, but am stuck on trying to add a 3rd indexer peer to an existing 2 node indexer cluster. I have an Enterprise license with clustering available. I have my two indexer servers up and running great. I go to configure a third to bring into the fold and it tells me that the pass4Symkey is wrong, which I am about 99.99% sure it is not. I must be missing something about how to add a new peer to an existing established cluster.</P> <P>Help, what am I missing?</P> Tue, 20 Dec 2016 14:52:56 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Why-am-I-getting-an-error-telling-me-the-Pass4SymmKey-is-wrong/m-p/203078#M40121 brent_weaver 2016-12-20T14:52:56Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Why-am-I-getting-an-error-telling-me-the-Pass4SymmKey-is-wrong/m-p/203079#M40122 <P>I figured out my problem, and its not the first time I overlooked something <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> </P> <P>When I built the Linux VM the firewall got installed and was therefore preventing a connection back to 8089...
