Hello I'm getting this error when I go into the Enterprise console and look at the security posture it's been going on for a few days any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance

 

I would appreciate the help as I am relatively new to Splunk and need some guidance.

Is this a generic error,? I am very new to Splunk and I am sure that there is a relevant log that could give me more information on this what would that log be? would it be on one of the servers like the search head I am kind of lost here any help would be appreciated.
