Hi,

I am getting the following error on my search head whenever i run query in a newly created app.

Search results might be incomplete: the search process on the peer:indexer1 ended prematurely. Check the peer log, such as $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log and as well as the search.log for the particular search.
[Indexer 1] Search process did not exit cleanly, exit_code=255, description="exited with code 255". Please look in search.log for this peer in the Job Inspector for more info.

In the search.log this is the error"

12-15-2021 05:42:06.881 ERROR dispatchRunner - RunDispatch::runDispatchThread threw error: Application does not exist:

The above error is present for on all four of our indexers.

What is the cause for this? How do we fix this error?

Thank You!

Did you install the new app on the indexers? If not, try it.
