Hello,

Where do I find information on how to troubleshoot the below error:
2022
-12-05
15:21:53,383+0000 INFO pid=299674 tid=MainThread file=threatmatch.py:run:404 | status="This modular input does not execute on a search head cluster member" msg="will_execute="False" config="SHC" msg="Deselected based on SHC master selection algorithm." master_host="None" use_alpha="None" exclude_master="None""

The sourcetype is in the _internal index and the sourcetype=threatintel:threatmatch

I have a hard time finding documentation that points me to a solution.

Hi @Azeemering,

I suppose that you have a Search Head Cluster with installed ES and there's a misconfiguration in your cluster.

I hint to open a case to Splunk Support because it seems to be a relevant issue and I never encountered it.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
