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.
