Config validation failure reported in peer=usxzvrspidx1.usaccess.gsa.gov guid=62899FCC-C4E8-4A86-903D-C72234AE7F38. In index '_audit': Failed to create directory '/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/cold/audit/colddb' (File exists); .

I made a change to my my indexes:

[wineventlog]
homePath = volume:hotwarm/wineventlog/db
coldPath = volume:cold/wineventlog/colddb
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/wineventlog/thaweddb
maxDataSize = auto_high_volume
coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0
maxWarmDBCount = 300
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 33696000
repFactor = auto

[syslog]
homePath = volume:hotwarm/syslog/db
coldPath = volume:cold/syslog/colddb
thawedPath = $SPLUNK_DB/syslog/thaweddb
repFactor = auto
maxDataSize = auto_high_volume
coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 11059200
maxWarmDBCount = 4294967295
frozenTimePeriodInSecs = 33696000

Since this change  the indexers quit receiving data from their forwarders.   So I want to put the values back and Im getting this error when I want to apply the bundle change 

Need help on how to fix this

Hi @sgabriel1962 ,  What changes did you make, and how did you deploy them? Did you deploy a bundle from your cluster manager?
Try running this on cluster manager:  ./bin/splunk validate cluster-bundle
