Unable to add the search peer to Cluster master

Hello,

Getting this error message everytime when I'm trying to add the search peer to master.

Can someone help me with this?
I tried, remove the old configuration in server.conf and restarted many ties but no use.

Are you running Cluster master on management port 9089 ? Based on logs I can see mgmtport=9089, maybe you had typo in your configuration file. By default splunk management port is 8089.

Didn't see that one, good point 🙂

Which Splunk version? Did you create your own app configuration for this or are you using the server.conf specified under $SPLUNK_HOME/system/local/?

In either case, I'd suggest to remove the configuration and try to add the peer again by running the CLI command and see if that works. Reference: described here in the docs.
