Hi Lacastillo,

yes the permissions across all search heads are same. It's a clustered environment.

Do your permissions for Splunk and all of its folders and subfolders (including all the apps) on the two servers in question match the rest of the currently working servers?

I would raise a support case and submit the diag along with any information you have that might allow support to reproduce/troubleshoot the error. This is definitely the type of thing they're there for. I wish I could be of more help.

Before submitting your case, be sure that you are listed as a contact on the company support entitlement. If you are not listed, have the person who is the designated support contact at your company submit the case.
