Hi,

I am getting below errors in splunkd log on one of the indexers. Can anyone please help me to understand that?

WARN  IniFile - /opt/splunk/var/run/searchpeers/abc123splksrch01-12345698/apps/apache2metadata/local.meta, line 7: Cannot parse into key-value pair:

This indexer has an issue in /opt/Splunk/etc/apps/apachemetadata/metadata/local.meta or

/opt/Splunk/slave-app's/apachemetadata/metadata/local.meta

abc123splksrch01

Check for mispellings, strange characters, etc.

You can probably fix it by re distributing the cluster bundle. /opt/Splunk/bin/Splunk apply cluster-bundle
