[Sabareesh]

Everytime when i configure do Index clustering the peer nodes work fine.

When next day I try to open my peer nodes web server will not be loading. Please anyone help me on this?

First, delete the .swp files in $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk.  Don't use an editor to examine log files - use more, less, or another read-only tool.

Make sure the directory /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk is not on a drive shared with other applications or the OS as they could use up space that Splunk needs.  Likewise, the /opt/splunk/ directory should not be shared.

Why are you trying to sign in to the indexers?  Searches should be coming from a search head, not the UI.

I want to connect my peer nodes.when I give IP:8000 it is not working.when I try to restart from putty .The server available............ It is going on 

[richgalloway]

What are you trying to connect the peer nodes to?  If you're trying to connect them to the search head then stop.  Sign in to the search head and connect it to the indexers.

If you're trying to connect the indexers to each other then don't.  There's no need.  The Cluster Manager will tell the peers how to connect to each other.

Waiting for web server at http://127.0.0.1:8001 to be available............  <---This will go on waiting forever

Fix that by turning off the UI.  Add these lines to the web.conf file on each indexer.  Then restart the indexers.

[settings]
startwebserver = 0
