We are looking to run this on Linux. </P> <P>The following KB mentions the Linux Kernel versions that are supported: <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.2/Installation/Systemrequirements#Supported_OSes">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.2/Installation/Systemrequirements#Supported_OSes</A> </P> <P>I'm assuming from that document that Splunk only supports distros with 2.6 kernel version. </P> <P>I've seen a few posts/articles stating that people are running RHEL 6.x.<BR /> Is anyone running a more recent version? are people running other distributions?</P> <P>Thanks in advance.</P> Tue, 08 Oct 2019 13:12:41 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Preferred-distro-for-UF-Syslog-NG-instance/m-p/499042#M85070 jlph 2019-10-08T13:12:41Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Preferred-distro-for-UF-Syslog-NG-instance/m-p/499043#M85071 <P>RHEL 7 works fine.
