Solved: Monitoring Console (MC) not recognizing Search Hea... - Page 2

I'm guessing I'm overlooking something obvious here, so reaching out to the community for an extra set of eyes.

I have the label set on the shcluster_label set on the deployer but the "Search Head Cluster(s)" column in the MC Setup never shows the label. As such, I get the warning that "This instance is a search head deployer without a search head cluster label. We recommend you edit this instance to set its search head cluster label."

I even set the shcluster_label in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/server.conf. It matches the value on the SHC members. Btool shows it loading correctly. Deployer and SHC members all show site = site0 (as desired).

I even tried the instructions on http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/DistSearch/SHCconfigurationoverview#Set_the_searc... for post setting the label after building the cluster.

Am I overlooking something? Anyone see anything I'm not?

This worked for me.

In the Splunk Monitoring Console app,

Navigate to Settings -> General setup
Click Edit -> Edit Instance on 'SHC Deployer' instance's entry
Enter the Search Head Cluster's label in the pop-up window and save.

Below warning won't appear after that.

"At least one of your instances is a search head deployer without a search head cluster label"
