Why is one search head no longer communicating with indexers? Getting error "failed_because_BUNDLE_DATA_TRANSMIT_FAILURE"

We have around 10 Search Heads and 13 Indexers. Since this morning, we are seeing the below errors and our SH is not communicating with any of the Indexers associated.

All the other search heads are working as usual and have continuous communication to the Indexers.

I just sorted the stuff on my own. It was not due to the server.conf file.

I noticed a lot of ".csv" were being transmitted to the indexers from that SH. And that has taken a toll on it.

I went ahead and blacklisted the files and the apps that are being replicated unnecessarily.

Now it works just like old times.

Thank you for your response @jkat54

I had the same issue. I upgraded to 6.5.3 from 6.5.1 last week. This is the first time I've seen it. Possibly related? Anyway, a restart of the single search head that was reporting the problem fixed it. For now. Alert in place to catch more.

Usually this is due to bad cluster password stored in pass4symmkey in server.conf.

Not the case here. A restart of the SH "fixed" it. No changes made.
