My question is, do I need to log in to every machine and install Splunk, or can I do it all at one time? If so, do I need to use a Python script or something else? Can some please assist me or guide me in doing so?</P> <P>Thanks in advance</P> Fri, 08 Jul 2016 18:19:07 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-install-Splunk-forwarders-on-multiple-Linux/m-p/247457#M47712 saifuddin9122 2016-07-08T18:19:07Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-install-Splunk-forwarders-on-multiple-Linux/m-p/247458#M47713 <P>Hi, you can create a script to login to all the machines and install all in the same time.</P> Fri, 08 Jul 2016 18:24:48 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-install-Splunk-forwarders-on-multiple-Linux/m-p/247458#M47713 gfreitas 2016-07-08T18:24:48Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-install-Splunk-forwarders-on-multiple-Linux/m-p/247459#M47714 <P>thanks for your reply<BR /> can you please provide me any reference or point me to a document so that i can go through it once</P> Fri, 08 Jul 2016 18:27:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-install-Splunk-forwarders-on-multiple-Linux/m-p/247459#M47714 saifuddin9122 2016-07-08T18:27:08Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Is-it-possible-to-install-Splunk-forwarders-on-multiple-Linux/m-p/247460#M47715 <P>There is an accepted Splunk Answer for this.
