Indexer Cluster: Why am I seeing "event=replicationData... event=rename replicationType=eJournalReplication status=failed" errors on one indexer?

[vaianna]

Hi,

I have a Splunk indexer cluster with these parameters:
1 Master node
1 Search Head node
2 Indexers
2 Forwarders
RF = 2, SF = 2, both don't respected

For several days, and in this moment, with a real-time search on _internal index, I see on the first Indexer many sequences of these type of errors. The other indexer doesn't have the same problem.

ERROR TcpInputProc - event=replicationData status=failed err=
ERROR S2SFileReceiver - event=rename replicationType=eJournalReplication  status=failed err=Rename failed in 1 attempt(s) made between  status code: 17

Which can be the cause of this behavior?

Thanks,

it is most likely happening because of corrupted buckets, you can see them in cluster master webpage as well. to fix the issue you need to remove them. please see how to remove bucket in this post
