replicationStatus Failed failure info: failed_because_HTTP_REPLY_ERROR_CODE

Hi guys,

I'm getting the following message in one of the indexers from the cluster.

"DistributedPeerManager - Unable to distribute to peer named XXXXXXXXXXXX.com at uri https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8089 because replication was unsuccessful. replicationStatus Failed failure info: failed_because_HTTP_REPLY_ERROR_CODE"

I was searching through the documentation and couldn't find anything.

Does someone know what could be the possible reason of this failure?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

This can happen, when both systems have diverting License-Master/Licenses.

You should set the licensemaster to the same master_uri/same license pool.

On the License-Slave:

splunk edit licenser-localslave -master_uri https://<license-master>:8089

Or via server.conf:

[license]
master_uri = https://<licensemaster>:8089

However HTTP 400 Response is a very ambiguous message. Splunk should implement a proper Error-Message for this case.
