I have installed ES on deployer as suggested by splunk docs, then transfered this app to /opt/splunk/etc/shcluster/apps and pushed the apps to my cluster.

but still when I open ES on any search head it still says Post instal configurations and when I click configure it says you can not do it on SHC member

Reconfiguring Splunk Enterprise Security is what would advise you to do, however if the problem persists, open support ticket.

Wait. As far as I remember (it's been some time since I did it last time) you don't manually copy anything. When you run the installer in deployer mode it takes care of preparing the shcluster bundle. That's why you run it exactly as described - upload the app to the deployer, run the installer on the deployer, apply shcluster-bundle. No manual copying stuff anywhere.

Yes, this is right. There's no copy/pasting. We may need to update some parameters to support larger upload, but apart from that we can simply upload the ES package from the UI, perform the setup and deploy the Bundle.

I followed these steps, installed ES on deployer, configured it. Mission control is not working on deployer, then I copied ES to shcluster/apps and pushed the configuration. now all DA-ESS and SA apps are present in apps of each SHC member, but still when I click ES app or mission control app on cluster member it says continue to setup page.

 

not sure why
