Assuming no Splunk config changes, could your indexer be bogged down with something else?
From the searchhead try:
curl -k -u admin:changeme https://your_missing_indexer:8089/services/server/info

If you get no response, check the normal things, such as "is splunk actually running", server load, network etc etc

Aldo take a look for errors in /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log?

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!

I don't think that is the issue. I have 2 indexers. One of the indexer is working fine and is connected to search head but the other is not.

I had this issue and I had to distribute the public SSL key from the search head to the peer (indexer).

Settings > Distributed Search > Search Peers >

click on the peer in question and enter the admin/password
