In basic terms, you are basically right, note that in the "caveats" section it mentions the difference in directory seperator between Windows and Linux (i.e. Windows uses "<CODE>\</CODE>" (e.g. <CODE>C:\Windows\Logs</CODE>)) and Linux uses "<CODE>/</CODE>" (e.g. <CODE>/var/log</CODE>)), so this will need to be changed in you conf files.</P> <P>Regards,</P> <P>MHibbin </P> Mon, 28 Sep 2020 11:30:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Switch-my-splunk-platform-from-windows-to-linux/m-p/88888#M18437 MHibbin 2020-09-28T11:30:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Switch-my-splunk-platform-from-windows-to-linux/m-p/88889#M18438 <P>MHibbin, Thx for your help, I'll try to test in VM envrioment.</P> Tue, 13 Mar 2012 05:14:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Switch-my-splunk-platform-from-windows-to-linux/m-p/88889#M18438 chrislee123 2012-03-13T05:14:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Switch-my-splunk-platform-from-windows-to-linux/m-p/88890#M18439 <P>hi the above link is not working. can anyone tell what changes i need to make if i have a splunk version working in windows os and want to migrate to linux os</P> Wed, 27 Feb 2019 02:47:11 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Switch-my-splunk-platform-from-windows-to-linux/m-p/88890#M18439 test4u 2019-02-27T02:47:11Z
