Trying to update my cluster bundle and keep getting this? yet splunkd seems to be running?

This command [POST /services/cluster/master/control/control/apply] needs splunkd to be up, and splunkd is down.

What is the exact command you are trying to execute? I've found that bad syntax in a splunk command can cause this error.
