Deployer is throwing out error

[adoumbia]

Hello

I am building a new search head cluster, the cluster work fine, however the deployer is throwing error whenever I run "/bin/splunk show shcluster-status" on the deployer

Here is error I am getting

"Encountered some errors while trying to obtain shcluster status.
Search Head Clustering is not enabled on this node. REST endpoint is not available"

my server.conf look like the following

[shclustering]
pass4SymmKey = xxxxxxxxx

Your input  be appreciated

Hi @adoumbia ,

for my knowedge, you can run this command only on Search Heads, not on Deployer, because it isn't a component of the Cluster, it's only the system that deployes apps to the Cluster, but after deployment, the Cluster runs by itself.

Ciao.

Yes. @gcusello is 100% spot-on. I admit it is a bit counterintuitive (especially compared to indexer cluster and manager node) but the deployer is not a part of a search head cluster. It is an auxiliary component meant to be used for... well, deploying the configuration to the SHC but apart from that it doesn't take part in any other SHC activity.
