Hi,
I want to add a new Search Head to my existing 3 node SHC.
My question is regarding the initialization step.
splunk init shcluster-config -auth <username>:<password> -mgmt_uri <URI>:<management_port> -replication_port <replication_port> -replication_factor <n> -conf_deploy_fetch_url <URL>:<management_port> -secret <security_key> -shcluster_label <label
-secret <security_key>
IF I look in the server.conf on an existing SHC member you can find the pass4SymmKey
[shclustering]
pass4SymmKey = $9$dkjajkldjaj--
But I have the original secret that was used to create the pass4SymmKey
e.g. password1234
Which do I use?
And when I added the IDX cluster to the new SHC node, do I use the pass4SymmKey or the original secret?
Thank you!

apparently the "clear text version" is what I needed.

The reason I asked this is bc someone posted videos showing to use the encrypted pass4Symm key, rather than the clear.
