Error, Parameters must be in the form '-parameter value'

[sam1010]

when I type this command in git bash /opt/splunk/bin/splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target   to get cluster status I keep getting the error    "Error, Parameters must be in the form '-parameter value'". Can someone tell how to resolve this

hi @sam1010,

To check the cluster status you need to run the below command on any search head member.

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk show shcluster-status

And to apply search head cluster bundle to search head members run below command on deployer server. 

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk apply shcluster-bundle -target https://<any_search _head_member>:8089 -auth admin:<password>
