Splunk Security Essentials issues

domino30 · ‎07-31-2023

So we rebuilt out SHs aby completely blowing them out and started with a fresh 9.1.01 install.

Then just for kicks before making a SH Cluster I installed the Splunk Security Essentials on one of the SHs

and The app worked wonderfully but when I made it part of a cluster It gave errors I am attaching a snipits of both so you can see. Keep in mind that all that was changed was that I put the SH into a cluster and then got the errors.

You don't do that. As a rule, you install a clean SH and join it to the cluster. You don't fiddle around installing local apps. All config is supposed to be managed within the SHC.
