Initial installly successful. Changed indexer to peer indexer & restarted splunk -

splunk service loads successfully until: " Waiting for web interface at https /127.0.0.1:8000 to be available...."

Systemd fails with - Warning: web interface does not seem to be available!

splunk.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1

Failed to start SYSV: Splunk indexer service

Unit splunk.service entered failed state.

Have searched for solution to no avail... Firewall is disabled.

Hi
What you found from /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log?
There should be a reason for exit.
