        "message": "Not Zero leader. Aborting proposal: member:<id:3 group_id:1 am_dead:true > ",

        "extensions": {

            "code": "Error"

nohup dgraph zero --replicas=3 --raft idx=2 --my=192.180.66.48:5080 --peer=192.180.66.41:5080 &
nohup dgraph zero --replicas=3 --raft idx=3 --my=192.180.66.39:5080 --peer=192.180.66.41:5080 &

If you have 3 zeros, one is the leader. You made your request to a non-leader. The /state endpoint will show who the leader is, or you can try all 3.

Thanks for Reply.
I have made request on leader, node has removed but still my zero server is showing and my primary alpha trying to connect removed node.

Oh no that sounds like what led me to this horrible experience: Raft group cannot pass leader election (specifically when I lost the second member of that group much later)

If you can take an export and rebuild do it now.
