Splunk Installation

Team,

I am planning to setup new Splunk Infra with 7.1 on a linux host with clustered SH & clustered Indexer. Is there any flow needs to be followed for installation like first SH, second Indexer, third DM,LM? can someone help for the installation and configuration management for clustering.

Firstly any particular reason using Splunk version 7.1 why not latest versions?

Install Splunk enterprise on all servers dedicated for splunk
configure license master
point all your splunk enterprise instances to license master
configure cluster master
register all slaves(indexers) and search head members to cluster master
configure deployer
register your search head members to deployer
Bring up the cluster captain.

Hi @thambisetty

Thanks for your response.

This is the dev setup planning to built similar Prod version. Any reference documents to implement? This is my first installation & cluster environment.
