Multi Site Indexer Clustering Config help

Hi Team.

I have my indexers present in 2 sites , site1 and site2. In site1 i have 5 indexers servers and in site2 i have 5 indexers servers. Now all i needed for my multi site indexer clustering configuration is "For each data available in site1 , i need a copy of it in site 2 and viceversa".

I have defined the following config but it seems not working as expected , am i missing something ??

// Master Config

[general]
site=site1

[clustering]
mode=master
multisite=true
available_sites=site1,site2
site_replication_factor = origin:1,total:2
site_search_factor = origin:1,total:2
restart_timeout = 900


// Site 1 Memeber Config

[general]
site=site1

[clustering]
master_uri = https://masterserver:52400
mode = slave
pass4SymmKey=splunk

[replication_port://52403]

// SIte 2 Member Config.

[general]
site=site2

[clustering]
master_uri = https://masterserver:52400
mode = slave
pass4SymmKey=splunk

[replication_port://52403]

Can you please help.

Thanks,
Rakesh.

Did you set your cluster master management port to: 52400 in web.conf? (You didn't show that)

Perhaps if you had some snippets from the splunkd.log file from one of the indexers and the cluster master it would help.

The configuration seems correct.
Please explain why you think it seems not working as expected. How are you checking to verify that?
