Hi @deephi .. Splunk UF is compatible with most of the linux available in the market. Pls check the documentations. if you hvae very old linux versions (or very latest linux with very advanced features.. even 90% of the times, this we can neglect)

Hi @deephi ,

as @inventsekar said and as you can read at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.1/Installation/Systemrequirements#Unix_operating_systems Splunk UF is compatible with every Linux having kernel 3.x or higher.

As you can read in an answer of few days ago, the issue could be that AWS Linux has kernel 6.x that isn't clearly declared compatible in the above link even if it's written "Kernel 5.4 or higher".

I am confident that it's fully compatible also with kernel 6.x.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
