Editing search peer ip address

[sonicZ]

I am in the process of setting up my Splunk 6.0.2 cluster here and when connecting to the master node it appears the search peer is using my default IP of my eth0 interface.

These search peers have multiple ips, including a bonded virtual ip for redundancy.
How can i specify a bonded virtual IP to be used as the search peer name/address?
would i have to make changes to the local routing table or can i just specify the IP in Splunk?
I dont see an option to make changes in the master or from the search peer when i add it to the cluster

Hi sonicZ,

have a look at the SPLUNK_BINDIP option in splunk-launch.conf this should take care of binding Splunk an a specific IP.

cheers, MuS

excellent, got it running on the bonded ip now. Now i need to figure out how to edit the previous cluster ip to the new ip
