Search Head Captain Replication Issues

Thighcep

Seeing an issue in our environment - we have a search head cluster and the captain throws the following error message:

Problem replicating config(bundle) to search peer ....... Upload bundle ......  url ...... failed; error="Broken pipe"

Also, when I run a search from the captain, it says "Unable to distribute to peer because replication was unsuccessful"

If we switch captains the error then appears on the new captain. Searches on the other search heads in the cluster work fine.
