Regarding my search head cluster

[satyaallaparthi]

Hello,

I have 2 search heads (sh), 2 indexers, 1 heavy forwarder, and 1 deployment in my environment.

The deployment is acting as a cluster master for SH and indexer and SH1 is acting as a captain.
But I got a problem now with that.. SH 1, that is SH captain replication status, is showing initial, and SH member replication status is showing successful. I tried a lot but didn’t get successful results.

Can anyone help me with that? Thanks in advance.

You need at minimum 3 search heads to elect a captain. Because you only have 2, that is your problem. Add another search head and the issue will go away.
