Why am I getting the following "needs splunkd to be up" error when applying a cluster command?

[vrmandadi]

I downloaded an app and placed it in the shcluster/apps folder in the deployer and ran the apply bundle command and I got the below error:

This command [POST /services/apps/deploy] needs splunkd to be up, and splunkd is down.

I checked the status of the captain and it is up and running. What could be the problem?

Hi,

I already checked that one but that does not solve my problem.This is the command I am running

./splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target https://hesplsrhc002.abc.com:8089
