Hi,

i am trying to setup Multisite indexer site cluster, but am unable to so. here is what am doing.

Master Node server.conf:
[general]
site = site1
[clustering]
mode = master
pass4SymmKey = mykey
multisite = true
available_sites = site1, site2 , site3
site_replication_factor = origin:1, site1:1, site2:1, total:3
site_search_factor = origin:1, site1:1, site2:1, total:2
Indexer-peer-1
[general]
site = site2
[replication_port://8080]
[clustering]
master_uri =  https://test-splunk-master-node-ae26196d0:8089
mode = slave
pass4SymmKey = mykey
Indexer-peer-2
[general]
site = site2
[replication_port://8080]
[clustering]
master_uri =  https://test-splunk-master-node-ae26196d0:8089
mode = slave
pass4SymmKey = mykey
Indexer-peer-3
[general]
site = site3
[replication_port://8080]
[clustering]
master_uri =  https://test-splunk-master-node-ae26196d0:8089
mode = slave

In the black-and-red text box, it appears that Splunk is not running on the cluster master. I would start Splunk and try again.

Once you have Splunk running on the cluster master, the server.conf files that you show should work IF
->test-splunk-master-node-ae26196d0 is a valid server in DNS
->port 8089 is open between the server and the cluster master

Of course this is a test environment, but BTW, the minimum configuration for a multi-site cluster is: one cluster master and 2 sites, where each site has two indexers and a search head.
