Splunk Search

Why am I getting this bundle size error message when running scheduled alerts and on searches?

Hi,
We started to get the following error message on searches (Job Inspector shows them) from search heads and also when running scheduled alerts:

WARN: Unable to distribute to peer named splunkindexer1 at uri https://xx.xx.xx.xxx:8089 because replication was unsuccessful. replicationStatus Failed failure info: failed_because_BUNDLE_SIZE_EXCEEDS_MAX_SIZE"

Blacklisting a big lookup CSV file didn't help. Any other suggestion on troubleshooting and fixing the issue is welcomed.
Thank you in advance!

First, check your disk space on your relevant indexers.

Assuming that's good, check out the solutions over at this page, and let us know if you still have a problem.

Have you looked at the bundle size with the big lookup blacklisted? if it is still big, look at other things you can cut out. Are there any binaries or other large files? If you need to distribute those files, you can try an rsync script to send them to the indexers (we have to do that in our environment).
