I am trying to configure my search head to search my indexer and i keep receiving the following error:
Error while sending public key to search peer: Connect Timeout
One of the troubleshooting steps recommended was to make sure that splunkd is running with it is both on the SH and indexer.
Does anyone know what else I can try?
Thanks
Are you able to connect Indexer management port from Search Head server?
Check using command telnet indexer 8089
if you are using linux
when I run the telnet command I get the following:
telnet: indexer: Name or service not known
indexer: Unknown host
Ah, replace indexer with your indexer IP address so for example telnet 192.168.1.1 8089
Means there is communication problem between your Search Head and Indexer. Possible causes are firewall blocking, route problem etc.
ok, I did that and the connection timed out
