Hello. I added a new peer through the Search peers settings But I realized that I do not need this server. I try to delete via the web, it doesn’t work, I delete it by editing the file, it also doesn’t work, restarting the distsearch.conf file returns where this server is. How to remove this server, I've been trying to find a solution for a month now I am editing distsearch.conf file I delete the contents of servers 1.1.1.3, 1.1.1.4 [distributed search] disabled = 0 servers = https://1.1.1.1:8089,https://1.1.1.2:8089,https://1.1.1.3:8089,https://1.1.1.4:8089 Restarting splunk everything returns. I'm trying to delete via web. also does not apply. have access to the network. everything works correctly. But **beep** it I can't remove it from the file HOW DO I RETURN THE OLD VERSION OF THE FILE distsearch.conf
