Installing 8.0.1 on Fedora server. Have an error that I am just missing.

bworrellZP — Sat, 04 Jan 2020 22:44:22 GMT

During the setup, when going to have Splunk run on boot up, I run this command (after editing /etc/init.d/splunk)

sudo /opt/splunk/bin/splunk enable boot-start -systemd-managed 0 -user splunk

But rather than it run correctly, I get the following.

execve: No such file or directory
while running command /sbin/chkconfig

At work, we use RedHat with Systemd disabled for Splunk. (Note we deployed to 7.0 and have updated over time, so the servers do have systemd now, just not using it for splunk, and the boot-start was there already). Testing on Fedora for a new QA server. First time dealing with it. I know its something stupid, but missing it.

Any help would be great.

I have the same error on RHEL7.8 using ansible command module

It was working with splunkforwarder 7.X

Any solution found ?

I had to install chkconfig:

yum install chkconfig

Installing chkconfig .did not resolved the issue for me.
