Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure and Windows add-on version 6

msaz — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 14:29:01 GMT

Fresh install (not in production yet) so I can reconfigure as necessary.
Distributed deployment, all Splunk servers are Linux; 1 search head, 3 indexer cluster, 1 deployment server
Getting an error during guided setup re version 6 of the add-on is installed.
Have been following this guide:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/MSApp/1.5.1/MSInfra/AbouttheSplunkAppforMSInfrastructurea

Okay to bypass this error?

I used the 5.x version and it's working. Not sure why Splunk released the 6.x version and didn't include it as part of this. Must be for something else.

You could use v6, but you would have to bypass the pre-requisite checks. However, please note that you have to complete certain steps prior to deploying v6. Right now, I personally feel it isn't worth the headache. I've come across various issues with dashboards and data not ingesting correctly.
