Splunk Search

Reading error while waiting for peer XXX. Search results might be incomplete! [...]

Hi everybody,

I've attached an error that occurs recently on the splunk infrastructure based on a SHC of 3 members and an indexer cluster of 2 nodes.

Sometimes, when I run a search on a SH I retrieve a result but if I repeat the same search - even after few hours - with the same conditions on the same SH I retrieve a different result!
Then, again, after a few hours, the same search gives me back the same result had in the first run.

The customer says that there aren't such network problem between the servers, even if the error message appears very clear.

Have anyone an idea about this?

Thanks in advance

As the error message says, "search results might be incomplete", which would explain why the same search returns different results at different times.
Have you reviewed the search log and splunkd.log?
