 old lock file: /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/kvstore/mongo/mongod.lock.  probably means unclean shutdown,
 but there are no journal files to recover.
 this is likely human error or filesystem corruption.
 please make sure that your journal directory is mounted.
 found 5 dbs.

The permissions on files are also same

I tried this to make sure

 chmod -R 400 $SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/kvstore/mongo/splunk.key

I even restarted my server and splunk service. Nothing seems to work please help.

The mongod.log says empty jounal. My journal folder is empty on that indexer. Can i copy the files on another indexer and place them there.

Hey there, have you tried chmod'ing the permissions to 600 and deleting the lock file ( /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/kvstore/mongo/mongod.lock )?

In my experience whenever this happens, the solution for me has been to chmod the mongo splunk key to 600, delete the lock file, and then reboot the whole server (not just the splunk service).

Additionally, if you're still having issues check the permissions to make sure that the proper account owns/has access to mongo.
