Add Search Peer Error

Path Finder

Hi,

If anyone can help it'll be greatly appreciated and ill pass on the karma. I keep getting this error when trying to add a search pair in the GUI:

{"status": "ERROR", "msg": "Encountered the following error while trying to save: Peer with server name 192.168.118.128 conflicts with this server's name."}

 

When I add the search peer in the CLI it doesn't appear in the Search Peer section in the GUI either. Any help is gladly appreci

Hi @OgoSplunk,

Can you please check both servers' hostnames? It seems you already have another peer with the same name.

 

If this reply helps you an upvote and "Accept as Solution" is appreciated.
