Systemd services on Raspberry pi

Hello Splunkers,

I have installed splunk universal forwarder (ARMv6) on Raspbeery pi (running on Raspbeery OS 32 bit). I had enabled splunkd instance for user splunk (not an admin user) by following commands

1. sudo chown -R splunk: /opt/splunkforwarder
2.  sudo /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk enable boot-start -systemd-managed 1 -user splunk -group splunk
3.  sudo su splunk
4. sudo systemctl start SplunkForwarder

unfortunately I get the following error:

Job for SplunkForwarder.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status SplunkForwarder.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details

SplunkForwarder.service:

#This unit file replaces the traditional start-up script for systemd #configurations, and is used when enabling boot-start for Splunk on #systemd-based Linux distributions. [Unit] Description=Systemd service file for Splunk, generated by 'splunk enable boot-start' After=network.target [Service] Type=simple Restart=always ExecStart=/opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk _internal_launch_under_systemd KillMode=mixed KillSignal=SIGINT TimeoutStopSec=360 LimitNOFILE=65536 SuccessExitStatus=51 52 RestartPreventExitStatus=51 RestartForceExitStatus=52 User=splunk Group=splunk Delegate=true CPUShares=1024 MemoryLimit=1963114496 PermissionsStartOnly=true ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c "chown -R splunk:splunk /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/system.slice/%n" ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c "chown -R splunk:splunk /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/system.slice/%n" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target root@raspberrypi:/etc/systemd/system#

Does anyone have an idea how to enable systemd service on Raspberry pi so that splunk start automatically even with reboot?

Fisrtly, don't do "su splunk" if you want ot "sudo systemctl" (unless you have very strange sudoers restrictions).

Secondly:

See "systemctl status SplunkForwarder.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details
