Timeout creating CM after modify the template

[nihe]

Hello,

I have modify the CF template to move all splunk instance private subnet with the exception of the Loadbalancers. Therefor I modify the template and add 3 private subnet, NAT GW, Route Table. The modify VPC template created successfully. The modify Splunkt Template ran in to a timeout when deploying the Cluster Master Instance.

Troubleshooting: Create a jumphost login to cluster-master and review the cloud-init-output.log. Last message is Error: Cannot specify both a WaitConditionHandle URL and a logical resource id usermod --expiredate 1 splunk

Can somebody give me a hint where I should look and why the CM instance always fails.

regards
