https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-fix-slave-problems-for-license-warning/m-p/47181#M6986 <P>I currently have Splunk on a central server and 3 other servers forwarding events to it. All the servers have been switched to a free license, however on the central server I'm getting a warning of "This pool contains slave(s) with 1 warnings". I didn't think it was possible to even set up slaves with a free license so I have no clue how to fix this problem, also doesn't help that Splunk won't tell you which server/slave is having the problems. I double checked all the server to verify that they were running with a free license and none were configured to be slaves. So any ideas of how to fix this problem?</P> Wed, 09 May 2012 16:30:04 GMT Emblibrary 2012-05-09T16:30:04Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-fix-slave-problems-for-license-warning/m-p/47181#M6986 <P>I currently have Splunk on a central server and 3 other servers forwarding events to it.

Splunk is aware that your trial license is in use on two indexing servers. Disabling the installation that is a duplicate and that will fix your problem. </P> <P>I'm not sure which release your on but you can check which is the slave and master by going under Manager » Licensing.</P> Wed, 09 May 2012 20:52:37 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-to-fix-slave-problems-for-license-warning/m-p/47182#M6987 rsimmons 2012-05-09T20:52:37Z
