I have 2 peer nodes in my cluster - 1 of them was acting as a stand-alone indexer while the other is a fresh installation.
I had enabled clustering on the stand-alone indexer initially, but due to some errors, I disabled it.
I know have clustering enabled on both the peers and they are both recognized by the master node.
However, I now see the following messages - Search peer has the following message: Too many streaming errors to target=. Not rolling hot buckets on further errors to this target. (This condition might exist with
other targets too. Please check the logs.)
I understand re-enabling clustering on a disabled peer node is a known issue. I read this document - http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.3/Indexer/Bucketreplicationissues
The suggestion is to clean the hot buckets or remove the standalone buckets on the peer before re-enabling it. There dont seem to be any instructions on how to do this.
Also, will I lose an indexed data by doing this? As I mentioned, the node was acting as a stand-alone indexer and was indexing important data before enabling clustering.
nivedita_viswanath,
That error might mean a network issue (or more precisely a consistent replication issue ) between the two nodes.
Is the replication port configured properly on the two nodes. Are there any errors related to that in the splunkd logs?
Can someone please help me out with this question?
