One thing which i see in my web_Service logs are 

root:730 - CONFIG: error_page.default (method): <bound method ErrorController.handle_error of <splunk.appserver.mrsparkle.controllers.error.ErrorController object at 0x7fb7fdef6e10>>

Other thing seems ok.

From splunkd log file i have error messages related to my remote license server:

ERROR LMTracker - failed to send rows, reason='Unable to connect to license master=XXX

This is intentially kept like that because i want my server's to run without a license server.These are test servers and i don't want them to connect to a license server.

Another thing is an warning related to searchead:

WARN DistributedPeer - Peer:https://searchhead.splunk.test:8089 Failed to get server info from https://searchhead.splunk.test:8089/services/server/info response code=401

I tried to telnet from my searchead to cluster master on port 8089 and the connectivity looks ok.

I can upload the complete files if required.
