Can Add-on Debug Refresh be run from a cluster

Hi @MuS 

Sorry for the direct contact, I hope it's ok to ask you a question about "Add-on Debug Refresh".

I have used it for years and it's brilliant, however, I have just moved to a cluster(Christmas 2020) 1 SH, 1MN, and 3 INDEXERS but I have your app installed on the search head, but I keep getting this when running it. "External search command 'refresh' returned error code 1. ."

I have the permissions set to read and write form ADMIN and I am logged in as ADMIN.

Any ideas, what I might need to do as I really love this tool.

Hi Robert,

This is caused by some error not being caught correctly by the script. The refresh actually works just the feedback is wrong. I should get that fixed at one point 😕

cheers,
