Unable to apply search head cluster bundle, how to resolve error "Error while deploying apps to first member: Error while fetching apps baseline on target"?

[sborys]

I am trying to push an app through my deployment server onto my 3 Search Heads. I unzipped the app into /opt/splunk/etc/shcluster/apps/

I input in /opt/splunk/bin: sudo ./splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target https://x.x.x.x:8089 -auth admin:password

In return I receive :

Error while deploying apps to first member: Error while fetching apps baseline on target=https://x.x.x.x:8089: Non-200/201 status_code=401; {"messages":[{"type":"WARN","text":"call not properly authenticated"}]}

There are similar posts out there, but I still have not found an answer.

Any ideas?

Had the same problem and managed to find out what was causing it. 

In my case I messed up when initializing the search heads and gave them the wrong value of the conf_deploy_fetch_url. 

if that value does not match with the url of the deployer it will not accept the bundle you are trying to push out.

make sure you that your -target is pointing to the right server e.g. /opt/splunk/bin/splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target https://1.1..200:8089 instead of .g. /opt/splunk/bin/splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target https://1.1..200:8089

You must set the key, specify the pass4SymmKey attribute in the [shclustering] stanza of the deployer's server.conf file.

try running this command to make sure cluster members are in sync before applying the bundle.
