How to sync the cluster members of a search head?

I have message popping on my UI messages " Search head cluster member (sh3) is having problems pushing configurations to the search head cluster captain (sh4). Changes on this member are not replicating to other members. We have 4 search heads with dynamic captain

I have ran the ./splunk resync shcluster-replicated-config command and also ran the /splunk clean kvstore --local . Still it is showing the error

Any other workaround for this

Can you try reducing the value of conf_replication_max_push_count and give it some time to catch up with the syncing in small pushes only.

At below post, its been resolved this way -

Where can I change the conf_replication_max_push_count ,should I do It on the captain and push the changes?

you can set it at server.conf. A direct manual update to the .conf file would not be replicated but however through Web OR CLI OR REST they should be.
Check this for SHC replication -

@vrmandadi Check the splunkd logs for the resync if it happened correctly or there was some error.
Also this post although is for captain but may help - https://answers.splunk.com/answers/525189/how-to-resolve-error-error-pulling-configurations.html
